Their Game, Their Way

The kids were swimming when I came home, so I changed into my swim trunks and jumped in with them. We had a blast. We splashed like crazy and had a big water fight. The kids love dumping buckets of water on me, especially when I'm still mostly dry, because they like watching me jump. They showed me the games they like to play as well as all of their tricks. We stayed until they were done. Apparently, this satisfied them for the night. They were calm, quite, and obedient (for the most part) throughout the rest of the night. It pays to play their game, their way, whenever possible.
