You think your life is bad....

Tonight I'm watching my three-year-old nephew. When asked how his swimming lessons were going....

"Do you like your swimming lessons?"
A frown. "No."
"Why not?"
In a low voice: "They try to make me kill myself. In the water."
Stifling a laugh-"What? Why would they make you kill yourself?"
"Because they think I'm a monster."

As if things couldn't get any worse, he has to deal with the fact that I don't have any
apple juice.
Traumatizing.

At $12 for a 20 minute lesson, I would say that they are doing a better job of killing me.

That is the sweetest thing ever. I can totally picture him saying that. What a sweet boy! Hang in there buddy.
