Splashpad!

Took the kiddos to the splashpad in a town north of us, and they had a blast! It was with the moms' group I'm in, and all the kids had fun. Some of the moms said they'd be wearing their swimsuit... and I won't lie, I do not hang out in the hot sun unless I'm half naked getting some sun... so I wore mine. I was the only one in a swimsuit. It felt like I was in junior high and had showed up on Halloween in costume to find that NONE of my classmates had dressed up.

Also, my observations... the people watching was prolific... obscene... terrific!!

There is NO bike riding on the splashpad. If you do let your child do so, I will make exaggerated movements to prevent him from mowing down any of my kids or my friends' kids.

Dickies jeans on a 65 year old man should NEVER GET WET. Ever.

Older boys can be obnoxious. I am confident my son is not destined for this fate. I am hesitant to make that claim, but I can see 3 yr old boys who are destined for it, and my son is not one. Thank you bejeesus!!

When obnoxious older boys use the water gun thingy to squirt me in the face, they will be told "That's enough!" and get a look that will send them to the playground for a few minutes. I'm old and mean, don't fuck with me.

While playing a chase game with Buddha and some of the other kids, Buddha grabbed the back of my bathing suit bottom and pulled it down... but no one was behind me, just the parking lot. My bodypart flashing for the summer record will not count this one... since it was unseen.

Women are just weird. WEIRD I tell you! So territorial and attitude-y, about things as silly as a picnic table. I didn't actually observe this one, but I know the type.
