Poolside Walk of Shame

So tonight we head out to the pool for a quick swim before going to bed. Kid H and I have been on the road for work and visiting grandparents the last week, so we were both pretty tired.

After about 45 minutes in the pool, Mrs. H and I announce that it's time to go in. Kid H pops out, complaining bitterly about the unfairness of the whole ordeal and after being covered up with a towel, disappears.

Assuming that she went inside, Mrs. H and I head in a minute later, only to find that Kid H has disappeared. After a few minutes, I find her back by the pool, buck naked, and crying. Apparently, in a fit of rage, she took off her swimsuit and threw it over the railing. It fell down a story, but got hung up on a ledge. This was immediately followed by remorse, which was probably deepened by getting a naked spanking poolside.

After getting her back upstairs, I called down to make sure the suit could be retrieved, then Mrs. H and I put Kid H to bed. She was very ready to go to sleep, but had to be reassured multiple times that the wind wouldn't blow her suit away overnight before the staff could get to it.

We're all going to bed now.

Poor Kid H, but that was hilarious! Ah the joys of parenthood!

As an update, her swimsuit is STILL over the ledge. Quite a few of the building maintenance staff are on vacation, and apparently there are some more pressing issues than retrieving it.

Kid H checks on it fairly often to make sure it's still there, but is no longer worried about the wind blowing it away, since it's been there for over a week.
