Swimming Lessons
You can learn a lot from swimming lessons. We sure did that day.
Sam was scared of the water, and so you can imagine how he did not want to go to his swimming lesson that day. And Sam heard the water running now in the bathtub. "Mommy? Why do I have to take a bath if I am going swimming?", Sam asked as his mommy came out of the bathroom.
Mommy ignored his question as she headed back to the kitchen. "Jennifer ?! ... Who left this food on the table?", she bellowed as she started to pick up the dishes from breakfast.
"Sam did it!", Jennifer answered from the other room where she was busy picking out her bathing suit for their lessons that day.
"Stop blaming Sam", Mommy replied, "He is not the cause of all our problems ... this is YOUR cereal in this bowl. Do you want me to tell daddy about this?"
Jennifer was silently sweating the thought of mommy informing daddy about that, but then forgot it when she found her favorite pink bathing suit in the bottom of the draw she had emptied onto the floor.
Little Sam was nervous after hearing his sister, Jennifer, rat him out, because he knew that he had left his cereal bowl on the table too. Even though he was relieved after hear mommy defend him, he could not forget how scared he was of the water.
Well, they got their bathing suits on, and headed for Mrs. Sweeny's house. Mrs. Sweeny was their swimming teacher that summer. It was a normal swimming lesson. Jennifer could not swim as Mrs. Sweeny instructed, because Sam was either in her way, or distracting her, or not paying attention to Jennifer's instructions to watch her, so that Sam could learn how to swim. Mommy was still hungry because she had not eaten breakfast, so she went to Phatshara Bread for a bite to eat while the kids were swimming.
Then something wonderful happened. Just before it was Sam's turn to swim, he remembered that Mommy had left the bathtub water running before they left for their lessons. He wondered what would happen because, Daddy had told them not to get water on the floor.
