I ask myself questions not periodically but every day. The way my day started was no surprise. I was woken up by kids yelling and carrying on outside. I looked out my window. I saw the neighborhood creep sitting under an umbrella. He was doing what he always does. He watches the women in their bathing suits. It doesn’t matter if they are fat or thin. It doesn’t matter if the women are wearing two pieces or one piece. It doesn’t matter if the men are in speedos. He doesn’t watch them anyway. He is strictly a fantasize about a woman’s boobs type of guy. I wish I was somewhere else. I wish for more.
Do you wish for more?
If so, what is your first wish?
What I noticed were the dogs swimming in the jacuzzi. They weren’t supposed to be in there. Who had put them in there! Worse, it was hot outside. I wondered how they were surviving being in such hot water. They didn’t look as if it was enjoyable. There were no crossed legs or arms around their significant others. You know why? Because they weren’t human beings. I wanted to scream at their humans.
Get your dogs out of the water!
Do you know how stupid that looks?
To make matters worse, when they left there were chunks and strands of dog hair in the jacuzzi. No one wants to sit in hot water on a hot day. No one wants to be surrounded by dog hair. My eyes went next to children swimming in the large pool across the way. The noise was deafening. I thought how many had peed already in the water. How many had spit water out of their mouths and ended up in another kid’s mouth? I knew half of them had picked their nose and instead of eating their boogers, they flicked it into the water or smearing it on the side of the pool.
Kids got to be kids, right?
Kids got to eat dinner too!
The best part of night is the silence. The dogs are inside. The children are sleeping except the occasional one still up. Parents can be as guilty as children. I face a dilemma every night too. Should I take my chances of hopping into the jacuzzi after the dog hair is removed? I mean a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth. Should I take my chances on the large pool where kids find temptations and dares at every turn? I would like to think parents care about what their children do. A lot of them don’t after watching them from my window. Chlorine hurts eyes, but it doesn’t kill everything. I don’t go drinking salt water from the ocean. I probably shouldn’t risk jumping into the pool, but a man has to live.
