Abby's Dolphin

Abby went with Zoozie on an errand... you know what that means... Abby got to choose a "toy treat." As Zoozie's errand was pool related (turkey pool guy), Abby's treat was as well.

She ended up choosing an inflatable dolphin. Zoozie (not new to this parenting thing) tried to steer her toward the more seaworthy caterpillar or, dare she suggest, the boat... but no, there was no dissuading Abby (who has always known exactly what she's wanted).

Well, sure enough, as soon as Abby got on the dolphin, even with Uncle Tim posing as the blond model as seen on the box, the dolphin immediately capsized, flipping Abby under the water.

Uncle Tim saved her, Abby, ever grateful, told me... of course she also mentioned that there on the box the little girl had her mother to hold onto the dolphin tail where all she had was Uncle Tim. *cough*

After recovering from the dolphin betrayal, Abby told them that that dolphin needed more swimanation and less fallanation. Amen, sweetie, amen.
