Drabble by Kevin Fagan for June 13, 2020

Maybe they read Katy Newman’s review of the pool.

Look on the bright side Dad. Now you have the pool all to yourself.

SOMEBODY is getting in that pool.

I used to have bosses like that. The correct response is “I just put in x hours blowing up the pool because you wanted to go swimming. Now you’re going swimming if I have to tie lead weights to you!”

should have invested in an air pump, Ralph…everything would have been ready in seconds and the kids wouldn’t have had time to change their minds!

When I was a kid our canister vacuum had an output and we had an adapter for blow-up balls, pools, etc.

Just wait a few minutes, Ralph, that’ll change in a few heartbeats!

Ralph, they have compressors for that!

It’s a Dad’s life

FLEX THOSE LUNGS RALPH.

He still has breath left after all that?

Oh, so typical! ;-)

Don’t folks have air pumps to inflate bicycle tires, etc.?

And this is why I use a compressor.

Drabble, drain the pool, take the air out of the ball and animal float and next time they want to go tell them how to do it , they are certainly old enough to know and this way you aren’t killing yourself for nothing.
