Two Moons in the Sky

David Doral, Bonnie, Moiya and I climbed into her hot tub last night. All of us had an iced mug of cold water close to where we were sitting and we were singing as the night began to fall, “A little green frog / sitting in the water / a little green frog / doing what he outer.... David was full of memories of Alana and Daphne, jumping in and out of the water and ducking under the 3 streams of water that make a fountain in her tub. Moiya was telling David about the changing colours in the water, the magenta, the lime green, the baby blue and showing him how the water jets work in the tub. She has some water toys floating in the water, ones that come from the movie, Finding Nemo.

David has not been brave enough to see more than 10 minutes of the movie, since the terror of seeing the shark overcomes his desire to finish the film. But he has had a number of 10 minute starts on the movie.

Moiya and I sang along with the song, but noticed that whenever one of us made a variation in the tune, either ducking under the water to say glub, glub, glub from a submerged position, or hiding or hiding a water toy away from David in our swim suit, that we were doing it at exactly the same moment, not knowing the other sister was going to do the same thing. Genetics drives people in previously unimagined ways.

Moiya taught David to blow air out of his nose underwater. That task was almost as full of terror as seeing the shark come onto the screen in Finding Nemo.

I can’t believe we missed staying up to see Mars last night. Apparently at midnight it was visible to the naked eye – “two moons will be in the sky” a newspaper article said.

Did anyone catch it?
