Those were the words we heard at our local community pool this afternoon...followed by:
"We need everyone to please exit the lap pool as it will be closed for the next four hours."
Not exactly something you want to hear on a sunny, 90 degree summer day.
Let's rewind 5 minutes...
The four of us are having a blast at the pool...it's our first time there this summer and everyone is having a great time. Bug is jumping off the side and going under for seconds at a time (which is big for her!) and Monkey is dunking her head and trying to swim all around...it was the perfect day.
Then Bug gets a mouthful of water.
She starts coughing.
I pat her back thinking it's just a little water.
She projectile vomits.
In the pool.
AND.........that's our cue to exit the premises.
On a scale of 1-10 of embarrassment, that was definitely a TEN. We felt like we were in an episode of Modern Family (best show ever). So much so that we changed the girls into different clothes and tried to make a quick, incognito exit in hopes that no one would recognize us.
Needless to say, I am completely mortified and feel so bad for ruining so many people's day...but then I do think, 'hey, it could have been worse, she could have been the kid who made a floater in the pool!'
Only us!
Oh goodness! I can't believe you left this out of the conversation today!
ReplyDeleteOh no... what a bad experience... I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin was one of those kids who left a floater in the pool, when he was like EIGHT... now THAT'S embarassing!
At least if you're able to blog about it - you'll be laughing about in a few days :)
You definitely should be writing a book.
ReplyDeleteyou are so right, "only you guys". But throw-up compared to floaters ??? You came in a close second. What a day? There's something about you guys and pools, last year just about this time it was the trip on the sidewalk and the cut forehead. Truly a story for the novel you should be writing!
Hopefully you don't have to go to the pool in disguise from now on... That'll be a story that's retold and laughed about for years to come! :)
