We liked to swim at Stanley Park but we didn't always have the money to take the bus there and then pay to get in. Sometimes we set up a Kool Aid stand on the front lawn and sold drinks to passers-by. We counted our money as the day went on and when we had enough to pay our way we packed up the stand and headed for the bus stop.

I spent a lot of time at this pool...day after day after day. By the end of the summer I had a pretty good tan. One time I was standing out on the driveway with Moana and the flies kept landing on me. I was getting annoyed and she said, "your skin is so brown the flies think you are poop. And flies like to land on poop."
