Beware the Pool Playground

It may seem like an innocent playground, but beware, beware, beware!
On Thursday, June 5th Miriam was thrown off this seesaw. The result: the infamous broken arm .
On Tuesday, July 15th Bethany Colglazier was innocently playing on the swings. When out of nowhere the other swing attacked her; hitting her numerous times. It left a swollen, bruised mark on the right hand side of her face.
While it may appear that this very playground is a dangerous threat to the Colglazier family, there is one other factor involved in both events. This factor is a person: Carl Colglazier. He was on the seesaw when Miriam fell off. He was also on the swing next to Bethany just moments prior to when it attacked her.
So is this a case of a play ground with a vendetta for the Colglazier girls? Or is this the plot of a brother whose secret desire is to be an only child? He may look innocent with that sweet smile and intellectual visage, but could this face be one of a schemer working on assuring his place as an only child in the family? Christian better be on the look out. He may be the next victim of the River Rock Playground attacker.
Only kidding. Carl helped me write this.
We have one more swim meet left for the season. Miriam is doing so well after recovering from the broken arm that she is agreeing to swim three strokes for the meet.

You'd better change pools and FAST!! Ours is safe without a playground, you know!

That swing sure did do a job on Bethany's face! YIKES!

I think it is beyond mere coincidence that Carl was present and involved both times. Hmmm -- Just kidding :-). But if I were Christian, I would steer clear all the same.
