We are back in the business of being pool rats for the summer at our neighborhood pool. It didn't take Heath very long to find his swimming rhythm, and it seems he's grown a head or two since last summer and can now safely wade halfway across the pool.
It also didn't take him long to make quite a few friends. The first was a girl who was closer to ten than she was to four. She bobbed by in her pink swim suit and blue goggles, tossing him a shy smile when she noticed Heath's gaze.
Hi, what's your name? he inquired like an old pro.
Ruth, she replied with a nervous giggle.
My name's Heath, he said, then flipped and flopped away showing off his best dolphin moves.
She bounced along with her friend, another gal in a purple suit and green goggles. He's cute, she whispered to her pal, then the two tee-heed their way to the other side of the pool.
Oh, brother...
