« Buffy and the Invisible Pool: Wednesday Evening | Main | This mom is not a dummy »

So Buffy and friend come home at 1:30 after summer school today and Buffy immediately goes to the computer. Friend stands next to her talking to me, and after approximately ONE MINUTE says "Oh, you guys got a pool?"

Buffy stares at the computer screen.
Friend looks at me.
I mouth "she doesn't know."

Friend, "What? Hey Buffy, you wanna swim in the pool?"
Buffy stares at the computer screen.
I get a giant smirk on my face.
Friend says, "What's going on? When did you get a pool? Buffy?"

Buffy turns around, looks RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW, and says, "What, a baby pool? We have a baby pool?"

Friend: "No, you have a HUGE FREAKING POOL, RIGHT THERE."

Suddenly, Buffy either opens her eyes, or turns her brain on, or SOMETHING, because she finally sees the pool. "WE HAVE A POOL???"

Me: Um, since Saturday.

Buffy runs outside, friend following, and me following them, laughing.
Buffy: We have a pool??? Why didn't you TELL me???
Friend: Buffy! HOW did you not SEE this pool? Why would they have to TELL YOU? OMIGOSH, how did you not SEE this pool?????
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Also, Spike and his friends have been having pool parties every single day out here and you STILL didn't know.
Buffy: "F you ALL! You owe me ten dollars, Mom!"
Me: Why do I owe you ten dollars?
Buffy: Because this is messed up! You owe me! Why didn't you tell me!
Friend: Why did she have to TELL you???
Me: It took Friend one minute to see the pool Buffy!
Friend: I even saw it yesterday, I just didn't say anything. I can't believe you didn't see this pool!
Buffy: I DON'T LOOK OUTSIDE.
Friend: Buffy, this is a big ass pool.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Buffy: TEN DOLLARS.

In the end, I made her pull some weeds in the backyard to get her ten dollars so they could go to Jamba Juice. Then they're going to play in the pool.

And if Friend had not told her, you know she wouldn't have found out until September.

Me: If you think I'M bad, Spike didn't want to tell you until it was time to drain the pool.
Buffy: Why is THAT funny??
Friend: Buffy, how did you not see the pool???
Buffy: That's messed up. F you all, you're all messed up. You owe me.
Friend: But how... ???

And thus the invisible pool finally becomes visible.

I think I safely speak for everyone when I say that I'm a little bit sad it's over.

I'm with Catie. That's freakin' hilarious, though.

Hey, wait a minute. I didn't actually see the pool, either.

Where's MY ten dollars???

(Gotta love that Buffy ...)

I'm with Catie, I'm sort of sad that it's over.
ten dollars for not seeing the pool?? Why didn't I try to pull crap like that when I was a kid? I could have been rich for all the obvious stuff my parents never 'pointed out' to me.
That Buffy's a smart cookie, a blind one, but still smart!
