Kids Must Be Accompanied By An Adult

A story of accompanying four thirteen year-old boys to the hotel pool at Jonas’ overnight birthday party, told thru tweets:

 

Perspective: when *your* kids are the annoying teenage boys in the hotel pool.

Watching the 4 boys in the hotel pool. 3 teenage girls in bikinis showed up. Boys have yet to notice.

Ah–now they’ve noticed. 2 boys are trying to make the other 2 stop being dumb and splashy.

The teenage girls have noticed son’s 13 YO friend that looks like he’s 16. #HotelPoolBoyMeetsGirl

The girls are obviously not happy being ignored by the boy(s?). They’ve begun doing cartwheels off edge of pool and jumping in near boys.

Ha. Our 13lookslike16 YO was in hottub. Girls got in, he got out and went back to pool. He’s still 13, after all. 😉 #HotelPoolBoyMeetsGirl

Girl to one of our boys: she said your name is Kendall? Son: quickly introduces all the boys and swims away. Fast. HotelPoolBoyMeetsGirl

Son just said: I’m a ninja turtle. Girl: I’ve heard of ninjas and I’ve heard of turtles, but there’s no such thing as a ninja turtle. Ummmm.

My husband has left me as the lone chaperone at the hotel pool. He went to “check on something” 20 min ago. He’s in trouble.

Told son quietly 10 min ago they had 10 min. Promised not to yell it was time if they wld pay attention. Made “it’s time” sign, they got out

Ha, husband came back. He’s embarrassing enough for both of us.

While leaving hotel, we run into the pool girls. “Do you guys have phones?” they ask our boys. Trading #s now #HotelPoolBoyMeetsGirl

“We got three girls’ numbers at the same time!!” one of them shouted on their way to the car. #HotelPoolBoyMeetsGirl

Me: how romantic! You met at the pool in the Drury Inn! A story for your grandchildren! Son: whoa, whoa, whoa!

I think I spelled ‘woah’ wrong. #tired #sleepoversurviver

And finally, this afternoon:

Husband took all the boys home. Except he didn’t. He brought one of them back for another night. He is a pushover. He is also on his own.
