Bathing Suit Quotes

“After I put on my bathing suit, you must not look at me until I get into the water.'

'Why not?' asked Frog.

'Because I look funny in my bathing suit. That is why.' said Toad.”
― Arnold Lobel, Frog and Toad are Friends

“The STANDPIPE

Many people have made fun about those dingy white cemented standpipes; many have fallen down and bruised their knees after sliding, while fetching water in their metal buckets.
Yeah, that’s what we called them back then “Go and catch a bucket of water-the pipes gone off”
That’s what my mother used to say,
“But I am going to be late fuh school again.” I always lamented.

After a Sunday afternoon at Brandon’s beach, the water from the standpipe always felt good, especially after washing off the gritty sand from my feet and my bathing suit.
Coming home from a long afternoon at the beach, a little water from the standpipe, provided instant relief.

Long lines of people from Clevedale, Fairfield, Belfield and Seclusion Road,
Fetching water and hurrying each other up, no time for false pride,
The highfalutin neighbor was in line too, standing pouting on the other side

“You remain to be the most annoying, outrageous, inexplicably absurd thing I've ever seen. With your highlighters and your heart-shaped sticky notes and your seven hundred different colors of glitter pens and the fact that you never wear any clothes."
"These are clothes!" She pointed to the gauzy linen shirt she was wearing as a dress. It was sheer, unbuttoned past her sternum, and riding up her thighs. Underneath it, still, was today's bathing suit: hot pink, and criminally small.”
