Like the Proverbial...

One of the great joys in life is coming across an actual proverbial situation. I experienced such a joy this morning at the swimming pool*.

I suppose one of the hazards of going to a toddler session at the pool is, ahem, little accidents. Swim nappies are supposed to keep everything tightly wrapped up, but obviously today either someone suffered a containment failure or forgot to bring one. There we were, minding our own business in the pool when (cue the tuba) a small, but perfectly formed turd came floating towards us. We leaped into action and scarpered over the other side of the pool. But ten minutes later the damn thing was with us again. We kept moving and it kept following us, like some sort of germ laden brown dog. We finally managed to get away from it after about twenty minutes.

Let's just say, it wasn't very welcome.

*The proverb of course being "too many turds spoil the broth."
