Watch and learn (Plot only)

I pace back and forth on the sand of the beach. Kingston is probably on his way back home from working. For now I'm taking care of Jake. Right now he is digging a big hole in the sand and whenever waves come up on shore the hole is filled with water, causing him to get upset. I think of teaching him how to swim. I slip off my outer clothing so my bathingsuit is exposed and my bare feet feel like they're burning on the hot sand. I go over to Jake and help him lift his shirt off so he is just wearing his swimtrunks. With my feet hot on the sand I want to get in the water as quickly as I can. I grab Jake's hand and lead him to the water. I go to step in and quickly I jerk my foot out of the water. It's cold. Jake is already in the water ahead of me. I quickly grab his lifejacket off of the sand and run in after him, ignoring the tempeture of the water.

When I reach him I lift his arms up and slip the lifejacket onto him. He begins to kick his legs wildly, splashing the cold water into my face. He knows how to kick his legs but he can't control where he's going. I slip my body into the water. It's cold but I deal with it. My feet touch the cool sand on the bottom. I look at Jake trying to swim. He's flailing around like a dying seal. I roll my eyes and swim over to him. I begin to demonstrate to him how to use his arms to help him control where he is going. He seems to ignore me because he continues to flail around. I laugh at how Jake is trying to swim and show him again.
