If we didn't go to the pool....

If we didn't go to the pool....

we would not spend a gagillion minutes looking for suits you had on less than 24 hours ago

or the sunscreen

or the goggles

there wouldn't be half a dozen more towels to wash

nobody would cry because they got sunscreen in their eyes

or fight and argue about whose turn it is to sit in the third row

there would be no passionate pleading to go to the other pool 

or begging for snacks from the vending machine

or tattling for whatever you manage to find offense with

or complaining that the sun is too hot and the water is too cold

or there is no one to play with or that someone splashed you (surprise)

and no calling for mama to see your newest trick

or to come and play with you

and mostly there wouldn't be this...

the moment where you climb in my lap...

and I remember that when you are wet and cold 

you seem sooooooo little

and that I couldn't be more in love with you
