“It also wasn’t the prettiest name for a girl. Or a woman, or a man. I didn’t know anyone named June, but I’d heard of people being named that. Me? I would never name my kid that, and the same went for Myrtle, Thelma, Phillipa, and Nunchucks. Hee-hee, I just made that one up. I’ve never heard of anyone named Nunchucks. It would be an awful name, though.
But the word June made happiness bubble up in me even though I didn’t love the sound of it. Because in Georgia, school ended the first week of J...une, and that meant summer vacation! And summer vacation meant hot hot hotness—especially in Atlanta, which some people even called Hotlanta—and hotness meant . . . swimming pools! Yay!
Next month I was signed up to go to day camp with Amanda, but this month was all about swimming. Half the time I went with Amanda to her neighborhood pool, which had an awesome snack bar but no slide, and the other half of the time, Amanda came with me to Garden Hills Pool, a public pool in my neighborhood.MoreLess
