Can’t Leave Fish on the Sand

Benji’s injured hand gave us pause. What if we couldn’t swim? It was so hot; there wasn’t much else to do at the lake other than swim. The doctor said if the finger got too wet the glue might dissolve and the wound might reopen. Aunt Kristin suggested covering his hand in a surgical glove, and Granddaddy suggested wrapping it in waterproof tape, so we did both. Sandy bandaged his injured finger, then Uncle Wes cut one digit off a rubber glove and taped it to Benji’s hand. He covered two fingers for stability and because they were so small. Then, we all hit the water and marveled as we watched the twin’s swimming skills quickly advance.
