My buddy, Bill, went on a trip with the senior adult group from his church. One afternoon, a few of the husbands decided to relax at the hotel’s indoor pool area while the wives were busy getting ready to go shopping.
The four men took their swimsuits and towels and enjoyed the rare treat of swimming in the middle of the winter.
Suddenly, Bill had a great idea and shared it with the guys. The hot tub seemed like it would be so comfortable and soothing to a bunch of tired, old men who had been walking a lot in the last few days.
They got into the hot tub but soon realized that it wasn’t hot at all. What was even more frustrating was that they couldn’t get the jets to work either.
Relaxing
One by one, they each tried buttons and switches to no avail and finally just decided to sit in the lukewarm water and relax. Their wives soon emerged from their rooms, ready for a day of shopping. They looked over the balcony rail to say goodbye to their husbands in the pool area below them.
The women were confused by what they saw and shouted down to the men.
“What are y’all doing?” they shouted.
“Well, we tried to get this hot tub to work, but it’s not warming up and the jets aren’t working,” the men shouted back to them.
All the women doubled over laughing and screamed, “Well, maybe that’s because y’all are sitting in the baby pool!”
Now, four grown men sitting in a baby pool is funny! Bill and his friends will never be able to live down that story. But to me, the moral of this misunderstanding is simple — God is good, life is fun and we can laugh at any age!
