We took the kids to the Oak Park pool today. An enjoyable way to spend a stinking hot day. We arrived first thing in the morning to nice crystal clear (chlorinated) water. Over the course of the day, as more people arrived and ratio of sunscreen to water increased, the pool became increasingly murky.
But ultimately it was my own offspring who showed that pool-water 'what for': Thumper did a poo in the pool! And even worse, because DeepSpice had disappeared off to the toilet, so it was all up to me to clean up: I had to scoop up the poo with my bare hands and carry it to the nearest rubbish bin!
Still traumatised!
