It Is Chaos

Mayhem in the kiddie pool on Friday: Alex and his friends were racing around playing some violent game, and at one point Alex yelled "I am chaos!" and then Ian spotted a round brown chunk and told me he thought it might be poop and so we told the lifeguard, who gingerly netted it, and made a positively negative identification: fecal matter . . . but it didn't matter all that much because ominous clouds were rolling in and we just made it to the car before the downpour.
