Today I asked the kids if they remembered going to see the Water Show. They remembered the people water skiing, and the people hanging from giant kites pulled by speedboats. Then I told them that the lake was gone. I explained that there was a lot of rain and the earth around the lake gave way, and all the water drained out, so now there was just mud. I told them that all of the people who worked there--the boat drivers and the water skiers--had to find new jobs now.
D was very concerned. "Where will they get jobs?" he asked.
"I don't know, maybe in a store or a restaurant," I told him.
He thought for a minute. Then he said, "I know--two of them can work at Target, and two of them can work at the ice cream store!"
