Money Well Spent
What does $900 a semester buy you? Well, let me tell you: not just a group of friends and some free T-shirts. Not even just free beer at fraternity parties. $900 will buy you a childhood's worth of songs to sing. 3 rounds of "alpha-beta-gamma-delta" will get Harry to brush his teeth, and I don't even have to hold a match during the verses. Harry is well beyond his ABC's and prefers the vocals be Greek to him.
Mmmm...mmm I want to linger...
Well, Harry would prefer that I linger a little longer by his bedside each night singing (I doubt anyone else on the planet would). He starts out "It's such a perfect night...my don't know the words!" and I sing to him. 6 times and counting during this blog alone.
On a tough night I will pull out all the stops, and go round after round of Anchors Aweigh . This is saved for when Harry really doesn't want to sleep or is overtired.
In the car though (when it's not Backyardigans) it's strictly cheers. Those only cost me a few bake sales (which even then I , I did a bakery run - I would have preferred $900 a semester). It's just so hard when Harry yells "TOUCHDOWN" to not continue "do it again! We're on the line, 1 more time! Indians, come right on in!"
And so, in closing, you will see that 16 years of cheerleading and 4 more with an anchor weighing me down did indeed prepare me for life.

Interesting... I thought this was actually going to be about the money well spent to join the pool.
Who ever thought I would be the one saying that??

The pool is not a luxury. It is a basic necessity. It would stand to reason that toilet paper and bottled water are also the result of money well spent, but that's a given, too.
Oh, wait, are my tiara horns sprouting again?
