Binoo's illogical world

I am going to write a story here.
This is a real story , but I changed the names and ages of the characters.
Binoo dove into the pool. It was warm and just the right temperature, because all day the sun had shone over it.
Hey! This is the shallow side meant for kids under eight," yelled Maya aunty.
She was no kid herself What was she doing there?. "And old ladies" she added.

By the way, he was a kid. May be he was nine, but he was still a kid.
But his immediate reaction had been to slink away, while an irritating thought began to nag him. He should have at least stared at her for floating at the kid's end of the pool.

"Hey! This part of the pool is for young ladies! Away!" Now Sheela was no young lady! She was his age! But Binoo never argued, he had a problem starting  a fight.
And Sheela was giving him a funny smile, as if she was joking. He did not know what to say, and went under water for a few strokes. He continued making laps across the pool hoping that no one would notice him.
"Hey! You are actually walking aren't you?" Well....may be he was... He had just started to, not that he could not swim continuously for some time. Tchhhh...
