The Deal
Life is really just one big negotiation.
“Dad, I didn’t get really dirty at camp today”
I gave her the eyeball while she got out of the car: Hmmm…hair seems clean, there’s a small forehead scratch but nobody has said anything …so… I guess we’re good.
Or, what has become my motto lately: “Good Enough”.
She’s not clean, but she’s not dirty either. She was still in her swimsuit from the day at the beach, so I made her a deal: hose yourself off with the garden hose and we call it good enough.
So she got out her scooter and I donated a bit of dish soap to the cause and look at that - a good half hour of fun for the price of the water bill and dish soap.
Kids are weird. Warm Shower? NO WAY.
ICE COLD water from the garden hose? BRING IT.
Me, I would have opted for the warm shower.
Until Next Time,
TH and Co.
