She was looking at photographs with my brother (he was about two). He looked at a picture of himself on a beach, shoveling sand into a pail. The background of the picture was the lake.

When my mother finally got him to stop and tell her what was the matter, he said: “Why did you leave me alone on the beach and not bring me home?”
