A "Relaxing" Vacation

     

Mommy and Daddy drove to Ocean City, MD for a relaxing, long-awaited vacation. We had rented a little cottage for the week. Bobby and I were  3 and 5 years old and we had a GREAT IDEA.  


Since Mommy and Daddy were still 
asleep, we decided to dig through our suitcases, find our bathing suits. and head toward the beach at 5:30 a.m. 

This was in the 60s. The entire beach was deserted except for a couple of very small children. We were happily playing in the water by ourselves when we ran into a tiny problem. Bobby's little feet started sinking into the sand and he got stuck. Don't worry Bobby, I'll get some help! So I ran back to the cottage shouting, "Daddy, Daddy, Bobby's in the ocean and he can't get out!"

Needless to say Mom and Dad flew to the beach. They found Bobby still upright somehow managing to walk out of the ocean.

The Buddy System is Best

Please teach your children to awaken Mommy and Daddy 

before swimming in the ocean. I may even recommend 
adult supervision.
