Let sleeping Lifeguards lie....?

I took Billy, Matt and my pseudo-son Tommy to our little local beach this afternoon. It was a wonderful day. Cool when the sun went in but blazing hot when it was out. I was able to start a new book while the kids played and ran around. Now, I remember what it is like to be a teenager and I have great sympathy for the sleepy young things, but I was fairly appalled at the fact that the boy lifeguard never once lifted his head from his surfboard to check if there were flailing arms in the water or if anyone was out past the buoy....Especially after the fiasco with the 3 year old boy at Houghton's pond recently and the bad rep that lifeguards are getting.. You would think he would at least pop the head up once in a while for show. Good thing I'm a good mom and watch my children or you might have seen us on the evening news...... Off to the mall (once again) for Billy to spend his border's gift certificates and perhaps Uno's for dinner!Bon appetit!
