Getting on Swimmingly

Maia, Tristan and Teaghan loved it when Pat joined them in the pool at Patrick Snr's house. They jumped on him with glee, trying to dunk him under. He, in turn, roared with comedy monster vigour and threw them about like dolls.

Maia, because she doesn't swim as well as the others, clambered less, and was therefore thrown around less. Her role evolved into a kind of little monster cheerleader. She would float next to the chaos of yelps and roars and flying children and holler

"Come on people, KEEP HIM DOWN!"
