Impossible
“Sarah and Lucy were teaching the kids to braid lanyards out of gimp, while trying to encourage them to keep drinking water in the heat. But the kids—none of whom were any older than nine—had been lethargic and whiney and generally uncooperative all morning. At one point, several of them refused to drink the bottled water and bossy little Rachel Sanderson led them in a chant of "Orange soda! Orange soda!"When Lucy had, with difficulty, ended this rebellion, Rachel was quiet for only about five m...inutes. Then she and her sidekick Keri Baldacci started in again, this time mocking one of the younger boys."Okay, that's it," muttered Sarah in Lucy's ear. "She's going to cool off now for sure. I know just how to do it." Sarah jumped up with her water bottle, stalked four steps, and squirted Rachel's bare legs. A minute later, the kids and Sarah were well into a full-scale water fight, and laughing.In retrospect, Lucy could concede that Sarah had been right: The water fight would have defused tension and made the kids good-humored again.MoreLess
