Chapter 8 Warm-Up

I was swimming in my pool with my dad when I was around the age 3 or 4. Well, actually we were both on our own float in the pool. He had his eyes closed laying down on his float and I was a stupid little kid who was just happy to be in the pool at the time. My dad would push my float to the side of the pool and I would bounce off the side of it and I would float back to him, and he kept pushing me back and forth. My dad was kind of nodding off, he had his eyes closed but he was still awake because he kept pushing my float. I was having a fun time until one time he pushed me and when I hit the side I fell off my float. He was half sleeping so he didn't hear me fall off, and I'm only like 3 years old so I can't swim at all and I'm trying to think of how fish breathe under water so I don't die. After like 10 seconds my dad finally noticed my float didn't come back to him and that made him wake up out of his half sleep and see me drowning under water. He couldn't be more scared because when you fall asleep you have no idea if you've been asleep for 10 years or 10 seconds. Luckily for me it was only a few seconds and he pulled me out of the water so I could live to see another day. Not the best swimming experience for me when I was younger.

  1. That "well, actually" really says something about the voice of this piece.
