On Christmas Day last year, I was given an underwater digital camera. I was really excited, and couldn't wait to try it out. We were spending Christmas Day at my cousin's cousin's house, and were in the pool using my camera.
Taking a self-portrait of three people is hard enough at the best of times, but when your under water, it's even harder. I asked my six year old cousin, Lakeisha, if she could take the photo for us, seeing as she was wearing goggles.
For some reason, she was unable to take the photo properly. Finally, after working out what was wrong, we gave her back the camera, asking her to try again. We explained that we would go under water first, because we had bigger lungs, and then she could dive under and take the photo. As we went under, she dove down with us and tried to take a photo with her in it. We all burst out laughing, and rose to the surface to explain again.
After telling her three times, we were just about to give it another go, when she said; 'Wait, how about I take just the three of you?' We burst out laughing and said; 'Yes thank you, that would be lovely!'
After having a picnic with my aunt, uncle, cousins, grandparents and my parents, it started to pour down with rain. We ran through the rain, pausing under cover before starting the final sprint to the car park. Lakeisha, made me smile at the logic (or should I say lack of logic?) of a six year old.
ME: I thought you liked the rain.
LAKEISHA: Oh, I do! I like standing in the rain, but I don't like getting wet.
ME: So you like it when the rain falls on you, but you don't like getting wet?
LAKEISHA: Yeah.
