what you end up doing when it’s over 100 degrees out

and so humid you have to swim through the front yard to get to the car:

You take turns being blindfolded, tied up (arms and legs), and shut in a closet under the stairs

and you time each other to see who can escape the fastest.

you play cards and let your sister choose which card to play next

 

you play with electrical cords no matter how many times mom tries to give you something “better” to play with.  

 
you lounge on pool toys


and wrestle with dolphins

until you subdue them

 
and you really, really hope someone will take pity on you and take you to the pool . . . and they do.
