Game Master

They say I have to stand in front and wet all these people with this hose. Are they crazy? It's for the party, they say. I volunteered to be game master, do I remember?

So I gather everyone and make them form 2 lines (the teacher in me takes over) and lead them out into the field. The idea is so ridiculous that I can't stop myself from giggling and people keep asking me, "What's so funny? Why are you laughing?" And I say, "Nothing, nothing. Heeheehee."

Out in the field, I make them stand in little groups while I take out the hose and before anyone can ask me what I'm doing with a hose in my hand, I start spraying.

They all start squealing and wiggling about and by now I'm laughing out loud. It's just too inane. I don't think anyone would want me to be game master after this and that thought is so funny -- though I don't know why -- that I keep laughing.

I laugh so much that the hose shakes. It lifts off the ground. I step up into the air. Into the air! I'm flying! Me and the hose are flying! From my vantage point, I keep spraying the people and they keep squealing. What fools. And since I can't resist a little bit of added attention, I spray myself with water and do cartwheels in the air and the fool crowd claps for me.
