Sestak swimming adventure, number two. I am happily swimming along just a little while ago, when a group of HPHS girls say to me: "Ma'am, can we 'circle' with you?" For a second, I felt really cool because I knew what circling meant - a guy had just said it to me a little earlier. (In case you don't know, if there are just two of you in a lane, you can stay on your side and just swim back and forth. If there are more than two, then you swim in a oblong circle - everyone stays on the right side back and forth).
But, then the reality sunk in that they called me "ma'am." I think it is super polite when I hear a younger person with good manners, but I feel so old when being referred to as "ma'am," (especially when chugging along in a frumpy one-piece)! After 20 laps (100 meters per lap), I am more than happy to join your decade! :)
