My people. Buckle in, this will be a long one. I love the water. I love bath time, I love the lake. I love my little pool in the backyard. I love riding in a boat. Love all the things water.
…
I guess because I love the water, Moms thought they had a “bright” idea. This morning, they put me in the truck and said I was going to go play in water. Cool! When we get there, there was no water. There were houses. Friends – Moms took me out of my truck and walked into a house that I have never seen before. There was a pool in the backyard, so I guess they weren’t lying about water. But there was some lady in it that I had never seen before! She had floaties and toys all over the place. And why was she in the water?? She kept wanting me to come in the water…with her! And Moms were trying to give me to her! What? I thought they loved me?!?!?!
*breathe* Let me tell you that when I screamed the scream of 10,000 babies for no less than 30 minutes, there is zero exaggeration. I’m sure the houses within a 20 mile radius heard my cries for help.
This lady suggested Moms just give me to her and walk away…and THEY LISTENED! They just gave me to some strange lady who I had never seen before and left! This lady kept trying to show me her dragon, and her pig, and her mermaids. She would float me on her belly in the water and make me kick to get them. Of course, I did it kicking and screaming the whole time.
Isn’t this what Moms always warn me about? Stranger danger? Don’t go to the strangers with toys and candy? And then they just give me to her because she said so??
I don’t know what “learning to swim” is, but the answer is no, friends. Don’t do it, don’t let your parents talk you into it. Just no. Need a nap now before I figure out the appropriate punishment for my Moms.
