Beach Baby

F LOVED the water. She would grab your hand (or, perhaps, you would grab hers) and lunge towards the water. She was terrifyingly unafraid and even landing face first into a wave and getting a mouth full of sand didn’t faze her. Losing a shoe in the water, however, and watching it come in and go out as her grandfather, dubbed “Baba” by J, went after it dampened her watery ardor. Eating salt water flavored with sand is just fine but risking losing a shoe? Can’t be done.
Sometimes the Irony Gets in My Eyes and Stings a Little
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 by StacieSo there we were, on vacation, at the condo pool side and I’m spraying sunscreen on. SPF 50 in case you were wondering. A woman at the next table (a number of feet away) holds a blanket up to protect her baby and says that she is a first time mother. A woman with her, quite loudly, obviously meaning for me to hear, announces that THIS is why she doesn’t like spray on sunscreen. OK. Whatever. I mean, the stuff isn’t likely to blow over there and poison the kid but mothers are a paranoid bunch. I know I am.
Then that other woman LIGHTS A CIGARETTE AT THE TABLE WITH THE BABY.
‘Cause, you know, sunscreen is the kiss of death to babies but second hand smoke is A-OK.
