Or maybe when fish hit 'em. :funn:

Years ago when we were at the beach I was in the water with my daughter, Fyl. I think she was about 10 years old at the time. We were happily bobbing around minding our own business when a school of kamikazee minnows swam into us. I mean, they literally smashed right into us going at warp speed. 😱

I was wearing one of my favorite (ancient) swimsuits, the one that I probably should have thrown out about two seasons prior. It was all stretchy and faded. Heck, I should be honest and say I was wearing it because it fit. (We all know THAT story.) These kamikazee minows swam right INTO my swimsuit and I swear I could instantly feel them wriggling around trying to get free (all in the space of 15 seconds flat). I was shrieking and shrieking and frantically peeling off my suit. I dare any of you to say you'd have done differently!!!! It was a no-brainer. :roll:

I don't know who was more hysterical, though. Fyl was beside her 10 year old self at the shock of her mother taking it all off in the gulf waters in full view and full daylight. You know those credit card commercials that end in the tagline "priceless?" This was one of those moments. You couldn't have seen a more mortified little girl in all of god's creation. :oops:

Fast forward to back at our cottage. I was in the outdoor shower just about ready to take off my suit to wash up when Merman came out asking what he should pick up for the night's dinner. It was on the tip of my tongue to reply "a pound of fish" when I looked down into the crotch of my swimsuit to see the corpse of a kamikazee fish. If I shrieked in the gulf, I shrieked twice as loud in the shower. :rolling:

We had hamburger for dinner that night.

:funn: Oh, Mermaid! We had the same experience!! I will never forget that day! I can't figure out how the minnows got into some of the places they got into... There were about 8 of us out there caught in the 'attack' so we must have looked like fools splashing around like we did. We still laugh about it everytime we're down there.

Don't blame you at all! I don't think my parents had time to think about it. We were just gone with the wind. It was fun. We stayed out of trouble...no drinking and driving. Only one went to "spring break court" over a fake ID.[/QUOTE]
Would that one be you?
No! Even though I had a blonde's ID and I'm NOT a blonde!

sara82 has a loving mother. :wub: My children aren't as lucky! Freshman son of Mermaid was turned down cold when he inquired about Spring Break at the beach. NO NO NO NO Mermaid might be oblivious to many of the nuances of teenage language but there are some instances where she is perfectly capable of reading in between the lines... 😀 NO NO NO NO

We never told our son NO. We just rolled around on the floor laughing hysterically when he asked!!! :rolling::rolling::rolling:

If I've learned anything about sharing my swimming water with those cute little fishies, it's NOT to wear stretchy loose swimsuits! :floor:

BR, take the fancy kitchen goods from that girl or you'll never see her in SoWal again!
Yay! I just finished moving her in. It's a Crate and Barrel/Pottery Barn/Williams-Sonoma showcase. Looks nice.

As I was leaving, she asked me, "Mommy, when are you going to the beach again? I want to go with you. I miss the fresh seafood." She loves SoWal.

Who doesn't, once they've experienced it?

No, full professor with tenure and department chair. My husband is the one whose income pays for our SoWal lifestyle.

Miss Kitty, darling, I notice a new signature line.

Anything to do with you being the last postee on a three line post in the real estate pages--the locked down thread? :funn:

Are you being a bad kitty? Or are you merely a victim of circumstance? Wrong kitty in the wrong place???? 😱

I've learned to watch it in the other forums. Kurt will slap you down. But I understand why he gets mad. He's slapped my hands enough for me to learn. He's really nice in person though. Remember the turkey thread.

OMG. I'm going to get a mass PM after what I just said right there. The gulls are going to rip me! :oops: Suckin' up to Daddy-O!
