Daddy had told her to call in absent from work this morning. She thought he was still upset on how the plans that He had tried to make on Friday Evening, and then again on Saturday Afternoon had fallen apart. Friday, He had tried to book them a hotel room because their small apartments air conditioning had gone on the frizt and Daddy thought it also might be nice if they could go for a swim in the hotel pool. That one had been rather unexpectedly shot down by a local event that had totally slipped both Babygirl's mind as well as Daddy's, which is a rare thing. This local event evidently had brought in enough people to where all but the really expensive hotels were booked up. That had irritated both of them since the temperatures that day had been just over 100 degrees.
On Saturday Afternoon, Babygirl had offered the idea of going to one of the local pools for a swim. Temperatures that day again had been over 100 degrees, and the AC was still blowing hot air. Daddy took a look at the schedule for the swimming pools and quickly agreed, making her face light up with a broad smile and the thoughts of swimming in the cool water, not to mention trying to sneak in a couple of groping grabs on Daddy. She knew it would get her into trouble, but it was worth it and the few painful swats He might give her, as long as it brought a smile to Daddy's face.
Daddy had been under a lot of stress lately and though He never took it out on her. When Daddy was under a lot of stress He worried about so many things it was hard for Him to be happy, smile and joke. She was always reassured by Daddy that it wasn't her fault, but she would blame herself a lot for not being able to make it easier for Him. So if being a brat made her Daddy smile and joke, then those rather painful swats more than worth it.
