Stoplight Splash Fight

Today my mom asked me to go shopping with her for tonight's barbecue. We stopped at a light right in front of a house where a father and his son were having a water fight. The son had the hose, the father had a super soaker water gun. The son obviously had the advantage, and the father reverted to hiding behind a fence. You could almost hear the laughter.

Eventually, the son followed his dad into the backyard. He sprayed the hose a few times, and then came back to the front yard, empty-handed.

Even though he couldn't hear me, I said to him, "Oh no. . . You never leave the hose alone with your father."

His dad came back to the front yard, gun in one hand, hose in the other, and it appeared that the thought that his father would use the hose against him finally crossed his mind. He reached for the hose, but it wasn't given him. Then the light turned green. As we drove by, we caught the attention of the dad, and all four of us laughed with each other, even though we were strangers. It was a beautiful moment.
