Conversation Snatches: Quick Dry

We are in the middle of swimming lessons.  They started last week and finish at the end of this coming week.  Each morning the smallest 3 kidlets head off with Dr. Peds or me to the university pool in swimming attire, and each morning they arrive back home in time for lunch, after they have taken a quick shower.  Each morning they are supposed to place their swimsuits out on the deck to dry, but this step is often overlooked.  Often I find a swimsuit crunched up in a bunch in the evening on a floor in a bathroom or bedroom or who knows where.  I summon the owner to take it out to the deck as per indicated in my daily instructions.  Thee perpetrator grumbles and deposits the swimsuit outside on the deck in a crunchy bunch, and since it is already evening and the swimsuit isn’t hanging flat on the rail, it doesn’t dry.

Last Thursday morning I told everyone to get ready for swimming.    Mr. SP came trouncing back inside with a quite damp swimsuit in his hands.  “Mom?  If I put this in the microwave will it dry out really quick?”

No.  No, my love, it will not.

At least he asked before trying it.
