Dipping the Skinny Way

Overheard at breakfast (which included three Nowell boys and their male cousin):

Nowell #1: "Have you ever gone skinny dipping?*"
Cousin (nervous giggle): "No."
Nowell #2: "It's SOOOO fun!"
Nowell #3 (enthusiastically): "Yeah."
Nowell #1 (who, obviously, moonlights as a scientist): "When you don't have clothes on, you swim faster."

I'd dearly love to call the Olympic Swim Team and suggest that maybe, just maybe, they are wearing too much clothing.

I think it would be fun to watch all the crazy, spasmodic, red "modesty" dots trying to keep up with the frantic pace of Michael Phelps. That would definitely go down as one of the world's hardest jobs.

Hey, NBC! Wanna make for one of the most watched Olympics in history? My boys have a plan.....


*Note to my sweet brother- and sister-in-law: we will NOT be trying this at home. Or at the splash pad.
