Pool Boys

[cabenson]

Conversation overheard at the Y's outdoor pool this afternoon between 2 young boys, approx. 8-10 yrs old. They had been throwing a car into the "Deep" (6.0 ft) end of the pool and diving after it. It's almost break time and they can't find the car. They are desperate.

Boy A: in a very serious tone I am going back down there to find the car. If I am down there too long, call the life guard to save me.

Boy B: Very dramatically But it's not worth risking your life!

Boy A: I have to find the car before they whistle for break. I have too! I'm going down there, watch me and call the lifeguard if it looks like I am drowning.

Boy B: pleading But you HAVE to come up for air when you run out. You! Will! Die!

Boy A: I don't want to die, but I can't leave the car on the bottom of the pool

Me: trying not to laugh Dudes, no reason to die today, your car is right below me.

Boy B: How do you know? Can you see it with your goggles?

Me: I just stepped on the damn thing.


Oh to be young again and willing to risk your life for a $5 toy

On another note, it appears Mrs. CB turns her mojo off when she enters the sacred doors of the YMCA. That is the only way I can explain her not noticing the 18ish yr old hottie on the chair next to her, untying her bikini top, or me sitting in a puddle of drool.

Had it not been for the fact that Boy A looked like he could hardly swim, I would have kept my mouth shut. Mrs. CB and I were rehashing the convo over lunch.

Maybe Mrs. CB was pretending to not notice her, when you were around ;-)

Oh I don't think so :)

I love your tale of the seriousness of this conversation! hahaha
Reminds me, one time when I was camping, this boy ran by, chasing another,exclaiming "Now all we need is a slinkie and a chicken!". I've never really been able to make sense out of that!

Oh my god, that is hilarious. A slinky and a chicken, eh? I bet we don't want to know.

Mrs. CB defends her mojo.

Okay, if you worked with teenaged girls all day long and had to put out the fires of their angst-driven dramas and teach them how to balance equations--you wouldn't be turned on either.
I have never understood teacher/ student crushes ----- ooooooo, gross. That's a control issue, not attraction.
