The Turtle Party

Troy: “Dada, what happened to the turtle from yesterday?”

Me: “He made it across the street safely. I can only imagine that he’s now on the other side having a new adventure! Or maybe he is just enjoying the swimming pool.”

Troy [giggling]: “That’s funny. A turtle in the swimming pool.”

Me: “Yeah, I bet he’s on his shell, practicing his backstroke. Oh, it looks like the geese have moved on as well.”

Troy: “They’re probably in the pool with the turtle. They’re having a pool party with balloons and decorations.”

Me: “Of course! What’s a pool party without balloons and decorations…and a backstroking turtle?!”

Troy [giggling]: “Yeah.”
