I enjoyed reading this very much. Even though it technically lacked the elements of a story, it conveyed effectively a child's experience of summer. I liked especially the child's skewed view of his/her father's experience. The father's good luck, time off from work, was bad luck for boy/girl. That meant vacation in the country. The father's bad luck, having to work in the summer, was good luck for the child.
Children do see the world differently.
I hope you will write for us again. You have a knack :)
You are totally right ^_^
You betcha! (I think this how it's written... hehehe)
Hey! Thanks :D
