The inevitable finally happened

Mr.  I like to sleep and walk right on the pool’s edge went a little too far this weekend.  Luna was sitting about a foot away from the pool’s edge minding her own business, when Henry came over and was trying to get her to play and clean her ears and things like that.  Of course, he stood between Luna and the pool and with all his wiggling around he lost his footing and went straight into the pool.  In the deep end and all the way under.  He popped up and was quickly plucked out of the pool.  He gave himself a good shake and gave me a look that said, “I don’t want to hear a word!”

He likes the pool, so this wasn’t a huge deal to him.  Just really bruised his ego because for a while he thought he was invincible walking so close to the pool’s edge.

But knowing Henry, and knowing that the boy has horrible balance, I knew it was just a matter of time until he would take an impromptu dip.  So did he learn his lesson?  Of course not!  Five minutes later he was sleeping right on the edge of the pool.
