Falling with a banana

Round and round the fountain he goes, barefoot and with a banana in one hand. I, feeding Alice on the grass.

It rained a lot and the puddle was deep and wide.

Round and round he goes, faster and faster.

Max come here, I say. He does. Let me roll up your pants so they don’t get wet, I say. Okay, he says, with a smile on his face.

Til whoosh! Splash! He slips and falls.

The entire back of his pants are wet.

I look over and Alice is pouring the baby food into her lap.

I take off Max’s pants, and round and round he goes.

He does slow down a bit at the puddle.
