Not many people have had the chance to live in the variety of places like I have - I have lived in a big city, Chicago; in the country with chickens and a garden, outside Lebanon, Mo; and on the water in our sailboat. Living in such different places, I learned there is a big difference in how you go about things. Below are how you know you're a boat kid.
You know you're a boat kid when.....
- You see a sailboat in a poster of paradise and say, "Hey look, it's us!"
- You are tan year round.
- Your entire wardrobe can fit in a backpack.
- You own more swimsuits that shirts.
- Your dogs prefer dinghy rides to car rides.
- Your shoes consist of one "nice pair" and flip-flops.
- You are excited when there's ice in the cooler.
- All your toys fit into a small waterproof container.
- You go to school in your PJs or swimsuit.
- When people ask what you do all day, you laugh.
- Your favorite video game is snorkeling with Nemo.....in real life.
- You over hear someone talking about Kim Kardashian and you don't know who that is.....and you don't care.
- You don't understand what the big deal is about fresh lobster and crab or why it's so expensive. You had it twice last week for free.
- You usually don't know what day it is and you don't care.
- You don't know why anyone would want to use an alarm clock.
- You know more about the local wild life than most teachers because you've seen and studied them all.
- You refer to all bedrooms as "Bunks" even your friend's rooms on land.
And finally. You know you're a boat kid when....You call all bathrooms "The Head" no matter where you are, even at church.
