About forty years ago, my grandmother had a pool in the backyard. The young man who was going to marry my aunt would entertain us grandkids by making big splashes and whale-type sounds in the water.
That young man now has five grandchildren of his own. And Sunday at the family picnic, they were in the pool. They were chanting for the newest young man to join the family to splash around and entertain them.
The pool at my grandmother's house is long gone. Another aunt and uncle are now hosting the family gathering. But the little kids still enjoy being entertained. And another young man has stepped up to provide the enjoyment.
