Heat

The weather was fine until all of a sudden, one day it turned scorching hot. Literally, overnight the weather flipped to hot during the day and cool in the evenings, to hot hot hot all the time. What to do when the weather is this hot…? One afternoon the power went out and I was exasperated for a way to cool off so I bought an ice cream cone. When I got home to my apartment I found that the landlord’s grandsons had the same idea. We all ate ice cream together and tried to cool off. Although the little one didn’t really know how to eat an ice cream cone and mostly just ran around excitedly while it dripped all over the place.

One afternoon I came home and the two little boys were playing in a kiddie pool in front of my door so I went in and put on my bathing suit and joined them. They thought it was very fun to pour water on my head and once they started they didn’t stop. In the end the little one peed in the pool. That was my sign that it was time to get out.
