Common sense

So last week I took a life guarding shift down at the pool that I work at in Brigham City. It was going great until a family of hooligans showed up. There were 6 of them I think.. It sure felt like a lot more. There was a mother and a father plus 4 kids between the ages of 3 and I don't know maybe 10. Well I guess the mom and dad decided that they wanted to play with the older kids and left the 3 year old ALONE on the stairs where he could touch. I mean really come on! I was pretty impressed for a while though because he just stayed there and played by himself, but then it came time to rotate so the girl rotating me came out and I told her to keep an eye on him and I turn to point him out to her and what did we see?? Oh just him off of the stairs where he couldn't touch, so I hurried and ran over and jumped in and got him. The mom didn't even realize that he had fallen off the steps until I jumped in and she saw it was her kid that I had. It made me so angry that a mom would just leave her three year old and expect him to stay, I just thought it was common sense to watch your kid at the pool when they didn't know how to swim, but I guess I was wrong. Haha. I really hope that it scared her and she watches him more closely next time they decide to go to a pool.
Being a life guard I have seen people do some pretty stupid stuff, but I think the stupidest is the parents that don't watch the kids that can't swim. Honestly it is kind of sad how many people lack common sense these days.
Other than that everything else had been AWESOME!!! I found some place to live next fall so I don't need to stress about that anymore, the next thing on my list is to register for classes for next fall and then my I will be completely stress free!! :)
