Grains of Wisdoms
It was a very windy day and squally rain and so on and we found ourselves on the beach. The kids, in the background, were chasing waves. Durvin, in the foreground, decided to build a small dam against the incoming tide with his bare hands. His hands turned blue.
I used to build dams on the beach at Swanage when I was a kid. There would be 10 to 20 kids all trying to stop the incessant flow of sewage coming out of a big pipe in the sea wall. Pointless but fun if you are a kid. And possibly health endangering. But that is no excuse for Durvin.
