When Teri and Cindy were young, we had a plastic pool on our front lawn in which they could splash around and cool off in the summer. The girls loved the pool and enjoyed it for years. By the time they were both in high school, their dad and I decided it was time to retire the pool. They were still having fun with it, but they were attracting a crowd every time they went out to play in it wearing their tiny bikini swim suits. Our neighbors were getting increasingly upset with us, as some afternoons they had no place to park in front of their own homes. People were driving from all over to see our pool. One neighbor even installed a parking meter in front of his home in the hopes he could make a little money. So we emptied the pool and the girls found their way to the community pool.

In this photo, Teri had just peed in the pool and is thinking of doing something else as long as her pants are down. I don’t remember what happened, but we probably dumped the water out and started all over again . . . or maybe not.
