House party!


Simone's aunt and uncle hosted a luncheon to celebrate (again) the matriarch's 90 young years. In light of the fact that over 30 people attended, the party had to be split into two groups: the older set and the younger set. The youngest set (10 and under) ran around and acted in a generally heathenish fashion.

Little B, having missed his lunch, was in a foul mood. So, during a thunderstorm, Simone and little B huddled in the car while Simone (almost) force fed him his lunch. The weather and little B brightened up considerably after this little interlude and the party moved outside for dessert, a wonderful concoction of caramel and cake that melted in your mouth...

Just when Simone sat down to enjoy some conversation with her cousins, Little B brought Simone her phone and told her he'd taken some pictures. Intrigued, Simone looked and was stunned to find naked pictures of little B's cousins. Apparently, they'd decided to go swimming and, no bathing suit being in the vicinity, had simply stripped. Little B looked up at his mother expectantly.

She sighed. "Okay, you can go too," she told him. "Here," she gave him his arm floats, one of which had been repaired with a waterproof bandage. "Wear these."

Little B hooted and stripped out of his clothing as he raced toward the pool.

Simone deleted the pictures. Skinny dipping is something you keep in your memories, not on your phone, non?
