The Truth Behind You

18The little Princess was so excited the pool was finally being opened she could hardly wait to get in it.  It didn’t matter how cold the water would be, what an opened pool meant was that winter was over and summer was on the way!

Her Daddy was working very hard to clean the pool water and she was losing the ability to wait. So, she did something very brave.

Her Daddy told her to stay on the play blanket in the living room, but what he failed to realize was that she could see the pool from the living room.  She had been a good girl, thus far, and had remained on the blanket just as he had said to do.  But he didn’t tell her she couldn’t pull a chair over, set it in the middle of the blanket and stand on it so she could watch him opening the pool in the back yard.  And that is exactly what she did.

But now, her little heart could wait no longer.  She got down off the chair, crawled her diapered bottom back to the hallway to her nursery where she took off her tshirt, slipped into her pink swim suit and even blew up her arm floaties before she sprinted her crinkle out the back door and to the pool side.

“Princess, I can tell you’re very excited to get in the pool,” her Daddy said, setting up a lounge chair and draping a pool towel over it.

“How can you tell, Daddy?” she said, facing towards the pool to admire how crystal clear he had made the water.

“Well, BabyGirl…,” her Daddy began, opening up a new diaper and placing it flat on the lounge chair before looking back to her.  “Let’s just say that sometimes when you don’t know the truth, it will be because it was right behind you, where you may not have looked, all along.”
