The ocean sparkles in the sun while Jimmy Buffett sings about cheeseburgers n paradise. Mother floats nearby, in her showercap , and reminds me. "Jump out Ivey Mae so you clear the boat. And don't land near me because I don't want to get my hair wet."
After a slight hesitation I leap out and yell on the way down. "I can fly! I can fly! I can fly!" Wiping the salty water from my eyes after coming up for air I see Lucy smiling at Dad. "We know she can fly but can she land."
