Hanging out at the pool is one of the best parts about summer. Unless of course you start telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you Coppertone.
The next time you get caught in a slippery situation poolside, remember these easy cheats on what to say. Just might keep you from getting thrown in the deep end!
When You’re the First People There
She said: Where should we sit you guys? We want to get the best lounges.
She meant: Trying to decide between optimal sun exposure, view of the potential boys and proximity to the snack bar is an AGONIZING decision.
When the Super Thin Girls Arrive
She said: Ooo I’m kinda cold all of a sudden, I think I’ll just curl up under my towel for a bit.
She meant: Yes, until Barbie and the bulimia brigade take their boniness elsewhere!
Upon Seeing Your Crush
She said: Oh hey Todd–totally didn’t see you there…right in front of me. I was just stretching, ya know. Doing a little lounge chair yoga, ha ha!
She meant: If hold my breath, arch my back enough and reaaaach my arms over my head, I kind of look like Brandi Glanville right? RIGHT?!
If Someone Splashes You and Your Crush is Around
She said: Eee! Ha ha oh Chloe you’re so funny! Soooooo funnnnnyyyyy.
She meant: Be cool, don’t freak out because you got your blowout wet. Don’t be that girl.
If Someone Splashes You and Your Crush Isn’t Around
She said: God DAMMIT Chloe! Now my Us Weekly is all wet! And I’m going to look like a f*king poodle all day!
She meant: Great. Now my entire poolside look is ruined. I may as well go home. My summer is over.
When You’re Feeling Self-Conscious
She said: I’m super into retro one-pieces this summer!
She meant: Uggggh why why did I eat that entire tube of cookie dough last night instead of going to Pilates with Megan. OK, from here on out, it’s all about healthy stuff. I’m just going to give up—ooo! Is that the ice cream man!?

Supplies For The Dumped 
Mr. S: Do you do that?
:):););););):)
Ch1: Ummm…. NO!!!!!

Mr. S: WHAT!!!!!!!
Ch1: Nuhin’
Mr. S O_o
Ch1: You OK?
Mr. s Do I look OK!?!
Ch1: Who knows!!!!
I don’t want to be a downer, and I get that this is all in good fun, but I was actually pretty offended by the phrase “bulimia brigade” used in this article. As someone whose had an ED for several years and has been struggling to recover, I don’t really appreciate something like bulimia being treated like a joke. First of all, just because a girl is really thin it doesn’t mean she has an ED–and if she does, she shouldn’t be mocked. Secondly, why poke fun at girls who feel self-conscious around girls who they feel are more attractive than them? One of the reasons I come to this site so often is because I feel like it’s a place where I can feel good about myself and get encouragement from people, no matter what my size is. Instead of encouraging or joking about these kinds of problems, shouldn’t you be using these types of articles to make girls of all shapes and sizes feel more confident?
Well, the fact is that is what girls think about each other all the time. We are silently judging each other and when bigger girls see girls that are stick-thin they get jealous and want to make themselves feel better by saying things like bulimia-brigade and such. The website is 100% correct because it’s not like they’re SAYING that all girls that are skinny are bulimic, they just say what they know we think. It’s the same thing for skinny girls seeing bigger girls, they think were obese and unhealthy or have a problem with our health as well. So chill, no one is judging you and maybe now you have more insight, Besides, it’s just an article.
I TOTALLY agree! don’t they diss constantly on those who make fun of EDs?!! And here they are with a joke….seriously, gurl…
i would never say to whole “Upon seeing your crush” thing. it sounds so taboo & weird. why would anyone say that?
She said: Your new orange bikini is suuuuper cute, girl!
She meant: Girl, someone lied to you. But yeah, I’m not gonna tell you until you apologize for not alerting me to the start of my period while I was wearing that white skirt last year.
