Pookie went poolside Friday. At about 4pm, wine in hand, at the Rivers edge at the country club, Pookie was free and ready to celebrate. Luckily there were a few other free Pookie’s out that afternoon for Pookie to play with. There was Nathalie from France, Pookie’s neighbor, Chantal from Holland, Nicole, the American, and Esther the big German lady with twins, who made an appearance and graced them with her terrible sense of humor. Pookie just had to wonder to herself, “is it true what they say about Germans having no sense of humor?”  Well, in this case, Esther the German lady’s well intended humor was SO bad, and that is what made the entire conversation so funny to Pookie (at least Pookie THOUGHT she was intending to be humorous- or was she? So conflicting, this German style of humor…Pookie was actually pretty confused). And so, Pookie had to maintain a little self control. Not easy for Pookie at the pool on a Friday! BUT she pulled it off, thank God, and off went Esther the German lady with the twins, as she turned up her nose at Pookie and her friends shinin’ with the wine in the sunshine- and strolled away, looking annoyed that anyone would do such a thing- “How strange, these Pookie’s with kids having wine and shinin’ in the sunshine…. And at 4pm on a Friday! Hmph!”

“Keep on walking, MAMA with the matching braughtworsts-

Pookie don’t play that. “
