  Learning to Swim
My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim. --Paula Poundstone

Oh no!
 
What lake was that?
 
oh, my distorted perceptions!
 
hey, so you like magnets as well....great!!!!
 
I miss Paula Poundstone, I love her humour! That is actually in all honesty how I was taught to swim by my "crazy uncle Mike". He threw me in the lake in Florida (where there are GATORS!) and told me to swim. I did learn to swim. I now have an unfounded fear of "water monsters" in any body of water. Except the bath tub. I am safe there.

I might have to post about my crazy uncle Mike. Last I heard, he made it to our double A club.
