vacuum, pool, outside, kids, summer, chlorine, scared, interesting

“Arite man you ready to go swimming?” asked Jonny.
“Heck yea! Lets go, its hot as heck outside! But I will tell you right now, you really don’t want to see me in a bathing suit if you know what I mean…” I laughed this off, my weight was always something we joked about, that alot of people and I joked about, it was something, I liked to make others believe was my football “look”.
“Yea dude, make sure when you jump in, all the water doesn’t go flying!!”
We both laughed at this and went and put on our suits. We grabbed a radio, some towels, water guns, and water balls, and headed outside.
“Im gonna ask my mom real quick if with the bleach and all , and the vacuum cleaner dude in there, if we can still get in.”
“Um ok.”
Jonny went inside and thats when it came to me what he had just said…. a vacuum cleaner… those are the little things that go into a swimming pool and walk all around the bottom of it supposedly cleaning the bottom of the pool. I knew they scared me. This would be interesting.
