the boy

Living with kids 24/7 is always interesting.
Yesterday I took the girls to the pool to enjoy some rays and water.
Because Rachel is only two, I stay with her close to the steps where she can play easier.
During this time a young boy, about 8 or 9, began to jump off of the steps in some sort of canon ball style in our faces.  (His mom was sitting there watching...)
After about 8 of these and having to move Rachel over and over so he wouldn't hit her, he began to make this coughing, choking sound.  He spit up some water and looked at his mom, who just sat there.  I asked him to slow down, maybe go play somewhere else for awhile.  He looked at me, climbed back up the stairs and jumped straight at us.
This time though, instead of water emerging from his lungs, it was orange puke with chunks.
I looked at the mom who just sat there.
So I put Rachel up on the side of the pool, yelled at the kid to cover his mouth and hoisted him up out of the pool.  I then tell him to go get the lifeguards so they can clean up the mess. 
Now the mom springs into action.....
Lowering her glasses and looking directly at me she says,  "what, did that freak you out or something?"
Really, wouldn't a kid puking straight at you in a pool freak just about anyone out?
I just smiled at her and said "ya" and walked away.

Anyways, after a good talk with the life guards she has him go to the ladies locker room to wash up.
You would think that was the end of it, but no.
The boy  comes flying out of the locker room, no clothes on with his mom chasing him.  He then plops down next to my five yr old daughter with his parts shining in the summer sun and starts trying to talk to her.  She gives me this look that was priceless and crawls over to me and shudders and says "that boy is showing me his front bottom!"
So, sorry sweet girl, who has never seen big boy parts before.  What can I do?  I shake my head and give her a snack hoping she doesn't ask too many questions.
Kids= interesting days

  2. Gag me with a spoon! NASTY.. remind me not to go to the pool in Livingston. Grody! EEEWWWW is right, did you sanitize your string bikini??? I cannot imagine what that thing looks like with orange chunks splattered all over it.

    Looking forward to your long johns and turtle neck next time, you will surely be more protected from the projectile vomit scenario!! Hugs!!

    I was wearing my turtle neck. Now I have to find something different to wear to the pool. ;)
    I just don't get some people.
