Just So Stupid

One of my huge pet peeves is children who are just unbelievably dumb.

The normal things like head position and the correct way to do their arm strokes. And everyone else seems to understand that if I’m explaining how to do freestyle, then I probably want them to swim freestyle, right? Is that so hard to understand?
Apparently, it is.
This little girl, Grace, needs me to explain it a second time, just to her. And then I need to remind her every time she goes to start another length of the pool, that we are, in fact, still doing freestyle.
