“Hey Mommy, I learned a neat trick on how to make the ocean warmer. All ya gotta do is pee in it. Notice that Tommy’s not crying because he’s cold today? You can thank me for that.”
The nanny could’t take her eyes off the kids for a moment – they would make a break for the ocean, and she would have to chase after them and fish them out.
She fishes them out of the Bay/ and sometimes she gives them away/ but her favorite haunts/ are the fine restaurants/ who sell them as “Catch of the Day” !
Should make diaper changes a snap…wait, you don’t need them. Hold them over the water to do their “business”, dunk them halfway to clean ‘em, and:: Presto. You’re done!
Earlier in my life there were many times when I saw small children innocently allowed to play nude at beaches. It is sad that we’ve come to an era when we’re now obliged to automatically condemn any nude display of children as pandering to pedophiles.
Check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginie_Demont-Breton. It turns out this artist did a number of paintings depicting the lives of the fishing folk around Wissant, France, where she lived. She did this one of a mom hauling her kids out of the water in 1881; in 1888 she did a similar painting of what looks like the same mom throwing the same kids back in. It also turns out she was a major activist in making it possible for women to be professional artist in France.

There once was a girl named Cat / Had three boys named Nat, Pat, and Tat / It was fun in the breeding / But hell in the feeding / When she found there was no Tit for Tat!

The days when babies were harvested from the ocean. At least that is what I was told when I asked the question.

She’s got serious core muscle strength. Taking bets on if she falls off the stepping stones carrying 2 wet, squirmy kids.

Why is she walking on the rocks? In my bare feet, I would walk only on the sand.
