Get Me a Pen.

Carly is too smart for her own good. We were at the pool and as you know, every hour the lifeguards make the kids get out for fifteen minutes. They blow the whistle and say, "18 and under out of the pool. Five and under only in the kiddie pool." Each time the whistle blew and the lifeguards gave their spiel, Leighton would climb out of the pool and head straight to the kiddie pool. Carly was getting very frustrated with the situation. She tried to follow Leighton into the kiddie pool.

Me: Carly, what does the sign say?
Carly: Five and under only.
Me: So, that means you can't go in the kiddie pool.
Carly: Well, I am five plus four.
Me: You can't go in, the sign says five and under only.
Carly: Do you have a pen?
Me: For what?
Carly: I'll just change the sign.

She will be the child who is brought home by the police for vandalizing signs, so she will still be following the posted rules. Speed limit 25, nah, a little spray paint and now the speed limit is 75.

Have you gone back to the pool since the last time we all went together?

Hmmm, that sounds vaguely like a roommate I used to have. CUTE story. I need a pen too, I think.
