"I heard there might be thunderstorms this afternoon," the lifeguard said casually as he passed us on his way around the pool to check the skimmers. He was almost successful at hiding a little grin, but the corners of his mouth and his eyes gave him away.
"I heard that, too," I said encouragingly.
"I'll get off a little early if it happens," he confessed.
"I know," I told him. "Fingers crossed!" And I meant, too, because so far? He's my favorite lifeguard this summer.
He nodded and smiled broadly as he continued on his way.
"I guess thunderstorms are like little snow days for lifeguards," I said to Heidi, who was a lifeguard for years.
"Hell, yeah!" she answered.
