The Annals of Summer, Part the First

Day Camp has resulted in heat stroke in my daughter, who has spent the last 3 days with a high fever and splitting headache -- Cheers for overcast skies and cool breezes! Jeers to hyperactive camp cousellors who drive children like donkeys: "Play, you lazy pieces of shit! Play!!!"

Any time there is a spray of water directed upward, a child will come and sit upon it, so that the water shoots up his/her arse. A kid did this naked at the wading pool yesterday and the thought of the bacteria exchange going on gave me the willies.

My baby likes to crawl around on the pool deck, which is made of scratchy concrete, and drink from the various bacteria-filled, warm puddles she finds, in between snacks of the tiny pebbles she finds.

Extreme heat puts a damper on summer lovin'. I seem to remember a time when hubby's sweaty skin made me weak in the knees.

New, summery words in the baby's vocabulary: hat, fan, glasses, hot.

Oh, and what's with the 10-year-old girls wearing string bikinis? Don't they have parents?
