January 24. Day 24. Swimming in the Rain

Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves. My son tends to wear his on a slogan on his chest. He has an insanely large collection of slogan T Shirts and you can tell how he is feeling by the one that makes it on to his body (Today it was Another Day Passed and I didn't use Algebra Once. I suspect he was reflecting on back to school next week).
While slogan T shirts are not my thing I reckon I would sum up today with the shirt that reads We Never Really Grow Up, We Just Learn to Act in Public.
So as a responsible adult I never choose to go into the pool when it's raining. I mean I might get wet, or something.

I also reserve the brightly coloured ice blocks for really, really hot days or for the children.
Kids, however, have no such rules. They go where the spirit takes them and no amount of rain was going to keep visitors Charlotte and Ruby out of the pool today. Charlotte's mum and I sat in the shelter of the deck and watched because that's what sensible adults do when it's raining. Perhaps I should have selected a different T Shirt, the one that reads I See No Good Reason to Act my Age. I'm not sure if it's on a slogan T Shirt or not (it should be) but Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

  4. It makes perfect sense to me to be swimming in the rain, I've often surfed in the rain! But, only children can eat an ice lolly whatever the weather. Great action shot and I hope it's cooler for you now. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids and when you've printed your slogan T-shirt don't forget to send me one!!

  5. That is so funny to think about. We usually do stay out of the pool when it is raining. Looks like they had a great day. And now I want a t-shirt with your saying about learning to act in public.
