The YMCA close to our house is indoors. That's lame. Everyone wants to increase their chance for skin cancer in the summer, not be shielded from it! Duh! So Jeff and I went to the one that had the small water park. Which, being only 2.5 feet deep means you have to borrow kids to go there or you'll feel like a complete idiot. So, we grabbed some Ivanovskys and headed out. I enjoy swimming, laying out, playing "spy" and "sardines" with the kids. But mostly, I enjoy watching the high school kids be high school kids.
The following conversation took place between the 16 year old shaggy-haired, 90lb. life guard and the 15 year old busty, tan and slightly taller-than-him girl flirting with him. I got to enjoy 10 full minutes because the big slide quit pumping water and they had to fix it.
Teeny Bopper (as she enters the slide landing next to mine): "Ah!" *flips hair* Looks at the dashing young life guard. You know she is hoping somehow he'll have to do mouth to mouth with her... (Dreaming of Sandlot!!!) "I DARE you to smile! Come on.. smile! SMILE!" She looks at her friend who is waiting down at the bottom, waiting for their approval of her flirtation method.
Studly: This is my smile.
Teeny: "I knew it! I knew you'd smile." She sits down in the slide. "Can I go?"
Meanwhile at the bottom, the other lifeguard gives the thumbs up-it's clear to slide down!
Studly: "Not yet." He teases.
Teeny: "How about now?" She's smiling as big as her cheeks will let her.
Studly: "No. Not yet." He's checking out her swim suit.
Teeny: "OK, how about now?"
Studly: "Mmm.... OK. Now."
Teeny: Smiling at him the whole way down-giggles.
Round Two
Teeny: Bouncing up the stairs. "Hi." ... because she wasn't JUST there 2 seconds ago....
Studly: "Whoa-you have to wait."
Teeny: "What! What do you mean!?" She is obviously delighted, 4 extra seconds with Prince Charming! Who could ask for more???
Studly: (waiting for a moment) "OK. Now you can go."
Teeny: "Are you suuuuure?" As she slowly, ever so slowly sits down on the slide.
Studly: "Yeah, I'm sure."
Teeny: "So, like, can I go?"
Studly: "No. You have to stay."
Teeny: "OK... NOW can I go??"
Studly: "Fine."
Round 3... Round 4.... Round 5... Round 6... I threw up a little in my mouth... Round 7....
This carried on til I slapped them both.

Is that really what the YMCA pool looks like? Really gotta be careful, not only will the sun give you cancer but it will totally change your looks. Those pictures of Tucker and Emma don't even look like them!
LOL, that hilarious! I use to make fun of the male lifeguards when they would flirt.
HA! That was just tooo funny; thanks for sharing :-)
Loved it!
Come to Utah/Idaho border and take a drive with me. Maybe we'll try to break into some of those boarded up houses!
