Conversations at the Pool: A Parent’s Perspective
“Hey, there! It’s been quite a while since we last caught up. How have you been this past year?”
“Whoa, hold on there! Sunscreen first!”
“Sorry! It’s just been ages since we’ve seen each other. How are the kids doing? Did they enjoy their school year?”
“Please, stop moving! If you keep squirming, I might accidentally get sunscreen in your eyes.”
“Right, sorry again! So, how did they fare in school? Any highlights?”
“No snacks right now! We just arrived at the pool.”
“That’s fantastic to hear! I’m so glad everything is going well…”
“Seriously? You just had lunch; there’s no way you’re hungry already. Now go play in the water!”
“Anyway, do you have any exciting plans for the summer?”
“Don’t splash your brother! He clearly doesn’t like it, and trust me, no one wants to hear him cry.”
“Oh, summer plans! Are you heading anywhere fun?”
“No! I said no snacks yet! If you ask again, there will be no treats. Now, swim!”
“The beach sounds delightful! We’re planning a trip, too… Oh no! I forgot to apply sunscreen on the baby. Just a moment!”
“Hang tight, little one! I know you dislike this, but you’ll thank me later. There we go, back to your water toys.”
“Right, so we’re thinking of hitting the beach soon… Oh gosh! I think the baby just… oh no! He pooped!”
“Why couldn’t you have waited just ten more minutes? Alright, kids, out of the pool for a moment! Everyone into the locker room. And yes, there will be a snack later. Now move!”
“Okay, deep breath. Let’s try this again. Does anyone need to use the restroom before we dive back in? No? Great!”
“Ah, the beach… sounds so relaxing—oh wait! One, two, three… relaxing. Speaking of which, do you think we’ll ever get to enjoy a moment of peace?”
“STOP! Do not squirt the lifeguard again! You need to apologize right now!”
“Will we ever be those moms who can kick back and sunbathe? Oh no! Where’s child number two? I can see one and three, but where is two? Phew, there he is!”
“Get away from the snack bar! You gave me a heart attack! No snacks right now, understood?”
“My kids are wild! Why do you appear so calm? Is it just me? Am I the only one feeling neurotic?”
“Get back in time out, young man!”
“Seriously, I need a drink…”
“In ten minutes, okay? You can have a snack then.”
“Ugh. Maybe I’ll skip the drink and just have a shot instead.”
“No, ice cream is not a snack. A snack is chips or pretzels.”
“People think we just lounge by the pool all day…”
“Because I said so!”
“Right? We just sit by the poolside and… One, two, three… hang out. Jane? Where did she go?”
“Great, now you scared away my friend! Why can’t you just play quietly and not whine or squirt the lifeguard? Is that too much to ask?”
