Start out with the “pool” your cheap-ass, redneck parents rigged up for you. Be careful not to rip off the duct tape keeping the drain valve shut.

Move on to bigger and better things at the local splash park in Amish country. It’s great for your cheap-ass parents again, because it’s free free free.

Make some new friends for about five minutes.

And wonder if she’s thinking just how much it blows to be standing there in the 90 degree heat, stuck on the sidelines.

Spend the next afternoon lounging in the cushy new pool at Grandma and Grandpa’s, while those lazy parents of yours sip margaritas with their feet up.

Then, cap off the week with some new friends at a favorite spot.

Contemplate getting soaked.

And, watch those pesky parents dunk the baby in the water – again.

It’s been a good week.
