Hey Ma!! Look What I Can Do!!
Today I found the greatest place to swim. It was so hot out and I just had to get wet. Mom left me outside with Dad while he was fixing his car. Dad never remembers to keep an eye on me when he is working on something – so I took off the first chance that I got. I waited until he was real busy and then off I went.
In front of the house is a little creek and I always go down there and get wet, but that is only a little wet – like up to my belly. Of course I have to stick my whole head under the water and see what is under there!! Today though I went a little further than the creek I think – I was swimming completely in water – well it felt like water but it was not clear like the water I drink. It was brown and on the bottom it was mushy. My feet kept sinking into the ground. With all the rain the ponds in the neighborhood are full of nice cool water, but the water is a little yucky. I did not care though I just went right in.
It was not long before I heard Dad calling for me so I hurried up and ran back home. Boy was he mad at me. I only went across the street for a quick swim. He must be mad because the last time he saw me jump into water I just kept sinking to the bottom. It was like a never ending hole and it seemed like forever until I came to the top and I know I must have looked scared because I was trembling inside. I think it scared Dad too. He said something about jumping in after me. The pond is different though – I just walk into that water and even if it stinks and is brown I still like it.
I tried to cry a little at the door so mom would open the door and let me in. I wanted her to know where I was and what I had done – after all it is so cool to swim. Mom opened the door but Dad told her not to let me in. He said I was all wet. Mom closed the door quick but I ran to the back door and cried at that door instead. I know Moms and she feels bad when I cry. It doesn’t take long for me to get my way when I cry. Mom opened the front door again to tell me to stop but I was not hearing her. I ran right past her and into the house. She kept trying to get me outside but I wouldn’t go. I kept running around and thought about running to the bedroom to jump on the big cushy bed (it bounces you know!!) but when I would start to head that way Mom would yell at me.
Finally Dad got me out of the house. On the way out I walked into Moms legs. They turned brown like the water!! What is going on here? The brown water is stuck to me!! All over me!! Dad took me out back and tied me to the porch. I knew what was coming. I did this once before and have not done it since. They punished me so bad last time. I was dreading what was going to happen – and all for a swim in the pond. Please don’t do it Dad!! Please not the bath!! I hate the bath. Don’t do it to me.
Well I got a bath. The brown water kept coming off me forever. It stuck to my belly and legs. It was so thick – maybe it was not water. I do not know. All I know is that it was fun while do le it lasted but I don’t think it was worth getting a bath for. I would take anything besides a bath.
Mom came out with some stuff to put on me that turned into bubbles. She kept standing next to me and rubbing the stuff on me. She was getting hit with the water from the house too. Is she nuts just standing there letting Dad soak her!! If I was not tied to this fence I would have been long gone. Finally it was over. The water stopped and mom got me some treats. Then she said I had to stay outside until I dried – more punishment!! Not fair. Since it was so hot I dried quickly though. Dad made some burgers on the grill for lunch and he made one just for me. Then I got to chew on the corn ears that Moms and Dad threw in the yard for the deer. Moms brushed me and took me in the house. It is nice and cool inside here and I am so tired now - I think I will go sleep in my favorite spot by the door and dream of swimming some more.
