Tip Turned Blue

Today was the last day of summer "school" for the twins.  They went to the neighborhood park and had a big water fight.  And then the bus driver had a "pizza party" for them on the bus.  Of course, food on the bus is not allowed, so she brought drinks and purchased a pizza - as each kid got off the bus, they got to get a slice of pizza and a gatorade to eat at home!  And even a piece for the baby brother!  (What's this??  Momma doesn't have to make lunch?  How awesome is that?) 


Here is the conversation that followed between me and Twin B aka Coolio.    


Momma:  "So, how was the day at school?" 


Coolio:  "It was great!  Except I didn't like it when the tip turned blue." 


          [You wondering what I am wondering?]


Momma:  "Why?  Was it cold at the park with the breeze once you were all wet?  Did your fingers turn blue?"


Coolio:  "No.  What would cold have to do with it?  Anyway.  Our teacher needed people that knew how to tie and other people to be tied and I was one of the ones that got tied."


Momma:  "Please tell me what you are talking about...."


Coolio:  "Filling water balloons!!  There were a bunch of kids that filled balloons and then other kids tied them.  Once they were filled with water, to keep the water in I twisted it around the tip of my finger so they wouldn't pop or lose water until another kid could take it and tie it closed.  That is how the tip turned blue."
