“Robert, come out of the water for a second,” my mom said. I did not want to get out. I wanted to swim all day. I did a few more flips under water. I looked up and saw my mom again. “I mean it, Robert! Come dry off so I can put some sunscreen on you,” Mom said again. I guess she was right. I hadn’t put on sunscreen in almost an hour and I’d been swimming all day. I followed directions and walked over tomy mom to dry off. She promised that she could make it quick.

Mom told methat I am going to be a wonderful bigbrother. She even said, “Jacob, your baby brother is going to look just like you.”
