I should've known better than to actually bring pool toys to the pool. I was playing catch with Tatum and Reese with the those soggy balls, and this half-wit freckled little freak was like "Can I play? Can I play? CAN I PLAY?" No you little red headed retard, you can't. So you have to include him and unless the soggy ball is actually in his hands, he's saying "I'm open! I'm open! I'M OPEN!" Seriously, his mom was right there, why didn't she tell him to cram it in his cramhole?
And then there's all the parents that SHOULD be right there, but aren't. They have these kids that are like 4 and under, and they're on the opposite side of the pool, sunbathing. One lady actually had her top open the other day. I was thinking, "I hope she doesn't have to dive in after one of her kids because I really don't feel like watching the twins flop everywhere." She probably wouldn't have anyway. Lifeguard!
And today, this lady I see around the Y and Tatum's school that I don't like the look of was there. You know when you don't actually know someone, but you're just like "ECH" about them before they even speak a word? The funny thing is Aaron is like that about her, and he's usually not quite as anti-social and judgmental as I am. We saw her at a school function once and he was like "I don't like her." Why not? Do you know her?" "No, she just seems like a bitch." HA!
So anyway, I'm guessing none of her friends were at the pool yet when I got there today, because she plunked right by me at the baby pool and starting yaking away. Then I moved to the big pool because adult swim was over, and I was like 2 feet away from the end of the steps, with like 8 feet on the other side of me. So she shoves into the two feet and is like "I'm sorry, I'm just cramming myself in here!" No problem. She comments on my upper leg tattoo. "Oooh, that must really hurt there." Aaron was like, "Did you tell her you're a sadistic bitch and it didn't bother you at all?" HA! "Yeah, I have a pen and a knife in my car if you want one..." Anyway she was bitching about how her 2 year old son was driving her crazy and she was going to take him to child care. She never made her way back, her posse arrived- woo hoo! One of them was my sister's neighbor, Hunchie...I really wish someone in my family would get a pool.

I get the same annoyed feelings. When I see my kids pick up some pool toy that isn't theirs I tell them to put it down, it doesn't matter if the kid is playing with it or not... its so annoying to hunt down your pool toys after various kids have scattered them around the pool.
I hate it when people invade my personal space, even if I like the person, it distracts me to the point that I can't concentrate on anything but escape.
I'm equally bugged by people, kids and adults alike. I'm not good at sharing my kids' stuff with other kids that I don't know, maybe they have cooties. I do, however, like to cuddle up to strangers and talk about tattoos in sensitive places...BARF!
I think I'd rather let the kid play with the toys by himself than have to socialize with weird people. Why does the pool create this feeling that people can just ask to join your games or come up and sit two inches away from you? Where else do people act like that? It's like people think they've all been invited to the same barbecue.
That's why its called a public pool..if you can't enjoy sharing your space get a kiddie pool they only cost $50 at walmart.. I like public pools its a great place to meet single moms..
Is Joyce a lesbian or just a dude with a chick's name? I can think of better places than the pool for him/her to meet single moms.
Also, I'm pretty sure kiddie pools from walmart are more like $10-15.
