She is so Daddy’s girl. They built sand castles together for many hours: well, he built; she destroyed. I watched and applauded from my lounge chair, sad book in hand (The Maytrees by Annie Dillard, not light beach reading, but inexplicably lovely and heart wrenching all the same). Then I went in to rescue a really drunk woman (we think) who had unceremoniously released one of her DDDD breasts into the ocean while flopping around like a crazy fish. People were laughing and staring, including me for a moment, because it was ‘spectacular.’ But her front floats started getting longer and longer, and the lifeguard in me had to act. Turns out she did want help (not for putting her breast back into her suit…which is fine), but for getting out of the water. She asked me if I was a nurse, where I was from (she guessed the East Coast), said thank you, then told me to fuck off. Literally. So I did.

The alcohol talking, maybe?
Were you upset or did you find it funny?? (like I did when I tried to let the old man go first at the stop sign and instead he called me an ass…I had to laugh because it was so absurd).
I normally read anonymously, but this sequence of posts has brought me to commenting. YOU GUYS ROCK! I am so glad that you had a blast. I hope Elsie still remembers me in September! Love you all! Come visit OPC?!?!
