This guy is Curtis. He just retired from teaching elementary school his whole career. During the summers for the past several decades he been teaching swim lessons at a nearby HOA pool. In this shot, he's doing "Wishy-washy" with Clara, helping her get used to the water by sticking her in his washing machine. When she laughs, he muses out loud that somebody added Giggle Detergent to the wash. The girls thought they were just having fun all month, but Curtis tricked them and taught them swimming skills at the same time. This seems like an excellent skill to have -- joking around with your kids but at the same time you're tricking them into doing, say, chores or practicing the piano.
