Prompt five: How does your kalon help him out?
"Ok so to start, don't-"
*splash*
"Kid, please just-"
*splash*
"If you just-"
*SPLASH*
"Timothy for all things holy, be still and listen!" Allison finally broke. For 10 minutes, she had tried to talk Timothy into just getting on the darned surfboard without falling off, but the chipper kid had too much energy and just wouldn't stop to listen to her before trying to get up again, and promptly falling off. She was getting tired of getting splashed with seawater over and over, all while trying to help the kid. Sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose, she looked up to see the him finally being still and listening for once. Taking a deep breath, Allison started over. "Ok so, I think your first problem is just staying on the board. after that, we can tackle actually surfing too... Let's start with where you're going wrong kiddo; you're not centering your weight on the board. Try... like, rolling onto the board almost? Just, get your chest up and-"
She didn't get further before Timothy was, once again, back in the water with a splash. From his giggling, Allison almost thought he was doing this for fun. She had just about had enough, when she FINALLY managed to get his soggy butt up on the board without falling over. Step one complete... now for step two: moving without falling off.
"Ok, for now, try leaning forward onto your stomach and start paddling a bit-"
*Splash*
"...This is gonna be a really long day, huh," Allison sighed.
