Great advice by everyone. Thank you.

My neighbor just had hers put up for the summer. She said that The Boy could come over any time, as long as he doesn't bite the bottom of it. I had forgotten that he had done that at his dad's.

Just make sure the kids know not to bite the bottom of the pool if they get mad at you.

As in literally chomp their teeth into the vinyl (or whatever) bottom of the pool, thereby (potentially) causing a leak?



Seriously?

Yeah. He did that during one of his first rounds of visitation at his dad's house. He was very upset about something, though I can no longer remember what, and tired of her kids rubbing it in that they had his dad and a pool. He was 10 at the time.

Noted - do not let the kids try to eat the pool.

(and mousey girl - your story made me laugh!)
