Sneaking around the Y

On Mondays and Wednesdays Naomi has swim at YMCA.  When I signed her up it had been a couple of months since she took lessons, and they asked me what level she was in, so I said, "I don't know, Polywog or something."
"Ummmm... There is no Polywog.  It says here she was a Guppy."
"Ok."
"So is she a Guppy?"
"Well, did she pass her test?"
"There is no record of her test."
"She was tested though, I guess you can sign her up for Guppy again"

Then came the first day of swim and Naomi had a breakdown. She passed her Guppy test and she refused to join her class. So I went to the front desk and asked to move her up a level to "Fish".  Apparently I could only do this 2 weeks before the class started.  So after walking out of the first class and spending 2 days on the phone with three different people, I finally managed to change her class assignment. You'd think I was trying to bring down the whole organization by switching my daughter from Guppy to Fish.  Now twice a week I sit in the corner by the pool and try not to look anyone in the eyes while I draw in my sketchbook.  I honestly feel like I was caught trying to steal a stack of boogie boards.

Who knew that the difference between guppies and fish could cause so much drama? ;)
It was bizarre and more than a little annoying!
