Recent conversation at a kid's birthday party
me: So Dave and I drove by this house today. I think we're going to make an appointment to go look at it. It's cute. It has three bedrooms like we want. It's got more than one bathroom which is always good. The only thing is it has a swimming pool. I'm not sure I want to deal with the hassle of maintaining one.
Megan: You can always hire a maintenance company to look after it for you.
me: That's true.
Megan: Orrrrrrr...you could hire a pool boy.
me: OH MY GOSH!!! A pool boy! Even better!
Megan: Yeah, you could get a high school kid to come in and clean it and everything.
me: Or I could hire a college kid, just to make sure everything stays nice and legal.
Megan: EVEN BETTER!!!
Megan's mom: I had a pool boy once.
Megan: Really? Did he walk around in a tiny swimsuit?
Megan's mom: No, but sometimes he took his shirt off...
me: Wow...
Megan: Wow...
Megan's stepdad: (to Megan's mom) What do you mean "had"?

regardless of his actual name, you should call him Raul

All I know is I'm inviting myself over to drool over Raul the pool boy. Hurry up and buy the house. Might the neighboring dwelling be on the market too???
