SWIMMING

We were having dinner the other night and during the conversation Hope said that she thought she would take swimming for her freshman P.E. unit.  Hope spends half her summer in pools and at the beach, so Scott and I supported her decision whole heartedly.

Shae looked at us with questioning eyes and we responded with the general "what?"  She said, "Dad, Mom, it's the swim team that she wants to join.  She has to try out."  Scott and I glanced at each other and then at Hope, who by the way, has never competed in any type of water sport.

"Is that what you're doing Hope", Scott asked, trying unsuccessfully, to hide a smile.  Hope chimed in with a cheerful, "Yea, no big deal."  I said "Hope, why do you want to be on the swim team?"  She replied without missing a beat "I can swim."

We have raised a very confident 15 year old.
