Too much confusion

Have you ever pondered the significance of balance? We are told: you must eat a balanced diet,  golf swing, we sit a laugh at the kids trying to do the wake boards on the beach, tires, work and play, the correct amount of “free time” Vs. “Group time” or how could I forget Rex, now that is the perfection!.. I could go on forever. Think about it!

One sunny afternoon I was sitting on the beach, engaged in an inspiring conversation with my nephew one of the topics was his parents. I then realized that I had not taken the opportunity enjoy the presents of their company. I always say “No time like the present” so the five of us decided to take a walk down the beach and pay our respects to the almighty Rex, and see if the parents were out! I tightened up my due rag, and pulled up my bathing suit, and we headed up the beach. As we walked down the beach I could not help but notice all of the parents playing in the sand with their children, I thinking it can’t get much better than this! On further examination my elation of family was destroyed, when I observed several of them with their cell phones up to their ears as one of them was selling real estate.  We arrived at the shrine to Rex, as we were passing the pool we saw the parents! Oh yes here is our opportunity to have some meaningful conversation. We jumped the fence to the pool while some of our group used the gate. We said hello, and noticed a magnificent SEA ment pond that was empty, the water was as smooth as a piece of glass! The next thing we noticed was that every chair was occupied, as we were standing shooting the breeze a gentleman handed me a towel, what was I supposed to do with a towel, I was not wet, but my feet were on fire from standing on the SEA ment.  What’s a red neck, to do: No place to sit, feet on fire, sweet running down my face, parched with a sea ment pond less than 5 feet away. Well you guessed it, I carefully walked over the edge of the pond, tucked my shirt in my suit, and stared to wave the towel as I hooted and hollered  then I did the biggest cannon ball ever, I must have got the first two rows of people wet! Would you not assume that they would enjoy the water, but as I came out of the water I got the nastiest looks?  What could I do, other than to yell across the pool deck for the gentleman, to see if I could get a beer, and a bar of soap (Why else would he give me a towel)!  He came over and I ordered drinks for the five of us, and then I yelled up to the parents and told them to get something for themselves, something real nice! Before I knew it the gentleman was walking towards us with all seven drinks on one tray, I was amazed, he had to maneuver thru all those empty lounge chairs tooting those drinks. I wonder why the chairs was empty; I guess all of the people must have been getting sunburn.  I told everyone to get out of the pool to get their drinks, and he told me to stay in the pool? (Go figure) For some strange reason I was the last one to get my drink, he asked me for my room number so I pointed down the beach and said I live over yonder, so you all know how quick I am, So I yelled over to the parents, and said.. Hey!                    What’s your room number?
