When I was a kid we had a pool at our condo. Nothing was more fun than playing in the pool for hours in the summer. As kids, we would think of games to play in the pool (Marco Polo, anyone?)to pass the time. One of my favorite games was a simple one: diving for rings. We had a few plastic rings that you threw in the pool and they sank to the bottom. We would throw them in and then dive to get them. Simple and to the point, this was a game that I loved (much like dogs like fetching sticks).
Now that I am grown up and have my own pool, I thought it appropriate that Steven and I have some pool rings. Well, somewhere between when I was a kid and today, the allure of diving for pool rings has diminished, becaue you can't find them anywhere!
What I did find, however, was a toy torpedo. The cool thing about the toy is the you throw it underwater and it shoots through the pool for a long distance. Steven and I, being perpetually 7 years old, played for hours with the new toy last night. I left it in the pool, since no one was around to yell at me to clean up my toys.
This morning the pool guy came to work his chemical magic with the water and to clean the pool. I noticed after he left that the toy was still on the bottom of the pool. And, I noticed that the toy closely resembles a vibrator. Oops. What he must be thinking!
