Swimming

Ok the story isn't so funny it's the after part that is funny. I have to tell the story to get to the funny though.

The day we were leaving Vicki's house in NJ. The boys were able to swim in the morning after we were all packed and ready to go.

I was outside taking pictures (I'll have to post some later). U was on a body raft thing a mabob holding A. Z was jumping in the deep end with his gear on trying to touch the floor of the pool. J was jumping in the shallow end and swimming to the edge to do it all over again. E was jumping in anywhere and swimming to the edge to do it all over again.

All of the sudden E jumped in and I noticed he was frantically trying to get up out of the water. I realized he didn't have his floating gear on anymore it was sitting on the side of the pool. I started yelling for someone to help him get out... Z was the closest but I figured he'd probably be freaking out and panicking and not be able to help E. U was holding A so he couldn't really just jump over to help and J wasn't wearing floating gear. I dropped the camera and whatever else was in my hand and reach into the pool and grab E's head. It took me a good reach to get to him. I then noticed my bodybugg... UGH do I jump in? or just try my best to reach. Oh I probably had my phone in my pocket too... whew! I was able to reach his head and pulled him to the side.

When he got out he was a little scared. I made all the boys get out and go in.

Ok now the funny!

I asked why he took his gear off and he said he didn't know why but he didn't know what was going to happen. He has had swimming lessons so he should know better. Anyway, what! He didn't know what was going to happen? UGH!! Well now he says he's not going to do that again. I didn't think it was so funny at the time but now I look back and it makes me laugh at his response. Not the situation.
