I took the kids swimming yesterday. They had been begging to go ever since they saw that the pool had opened . They hopped in while I parked myself at the edge of the pool.
As I looked around, I noticed that a garden hose was pouring water into the pool. Another kid noticed, too. He got a funny look in his eye, and I knew exactly what he was going to do. He took that hose and aimed the freezing cold water right at me. I stared at him, not moving an inch.
"Mrs. Ellis, aren't you going to yell or scream?" the kid asked.
I gave him one of my wicked smiles. "I don't yell at little kids. I eat them!"
And then I charged. You should've seen that kid try to swim away from me! Ha! Lesson learned: Never mess with a Mama Shark!
What next? I hope at least the day was warm so the cold water dried fast.
ReplyDeleteIt was warm outside, but that hose water was really cold!
DeleteI, too, have threatened to eat children who bother me, but I wasn't playing Mama Shark. I said in my best wicked witch voice, I cook little children and eat them for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie

DeleteYou showed him ha!
ReplyDeleteI bet he won't try that move again. (At least not with me!)
DeleteLOL, that was cute.
