I’m not sure when I began disliking the water. As a kid, I played in front of open fire hydrants, or splashed in the gushing torrents that unleashed to run down our street of row homes along the gutter. Little kids used to come out in their underpants to splash in that water and laugh and enjoy the sudden pleasure.
Neighborhood kids would “play in the water” from a hose even more often. No one, at first, had swimming pools, so folks would squirt garden hoses at the children. (I should mention that while the hose was a benign tool in that sense, it was also used for nefarious purposes. You don’t live jammed into row houses without some infighting occurring now and then. If Mrs. Stiehl was squirting the hose and cleaning off the sidewalk and street in front of her house and water just happened to reach the other side of the street where Mrs. Kolavage lived — these women despised each other mostly — a grand water fight would begin, accompanied by two grown, soaking-wet women skittering around in the street, adult screeching and bellowing. It was best to stay clear of something like this.)
