plumtreeblossom: (summer)
It was around this time in about 1975 when my brother and I earned spankings for digging an oblong 3-foot-long hole in our grandmother's back yard. Grandma came out to check on us, knowing that if we weren't making noise we were up to no good, saw the freshly gaping maw in her lawn and wailed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!"

Was it not completely obvious that we were building an in-ground pool? We were going to line it with plastic garbage bags and fill it up with the hose. How fracking cool was that? There was only one shovel and he was stronger, so he was using it while I was dog-digging. Busted.

Only thinking about it today because of the heat, and... wouldn't it still be fracking cool? :-p
