Pool games

'All you have to do, mum, is run up and jump off and land on the shark and not fall in'.

Pool games? More like the Hunger Games at times today with five of us all trying to get on the not-very-inflated-floaty-boaty and stay afloat. Huge celebrations when me and three children finally manage to get on and stay on for a brief moment, before dad comes underneath like a shark from the deep and tips us all off.

And repeat, and repeat, and repeat.
