pool filter

About 2 weeks ago, James was cleaning the pool with his helper, Eli (who by the way watched the entire instructional DVD on how to clean and assemble pools). When it came time to check the filter, Eli looked on in complete disgust. James said we needed to purchase a new filter. Eli said, "No, just clean that one".  James decided to pile us in the car and drive to multiple locations, only to find there were no filters in Hammond.  On the way home, Eli made the statement, "We have 2 choices: We can go buy another pool and get a new filter or we can clean the one we have". Well of course we only had one choice and that was to heed the sage advice of the 5 year old and  and clean the one we had. Shortly after the job was done, Eli came in the house and said, "Mom, I was right, I was soooo right".
