kids

i helped out with lessons at the pool today.
it was fun. it's really pretty because even though it's a public pool with slides and fountainy things and stuff, there are trees all around it and it's built on a hill. i love sitting on top of the high dive, which you're allowed to do before lessons start, because if you fall off it what's the big deal? you're supposed to fall/jump/dive off it. you can see everything from it. i don't really like going off it because i don't enjoy falling for long distances, and this is a really long distance, but sitting on it is awesome.
i love working with the little kids, too. even if they've never seen you before, they trust you and want you to catch them when they jump in the deep end. i wish everyone would be like that.
