[QUOTE="Andy, post: 171980, member: 5096"] The boy on the skateboard heading for the water might just be mine? We were at the lake today - neighbor girl's floatie tube got swept too far out to get. So, difficult child and neighbor girl follow the shore to an area the foam tube was heading for - good thing I decided to follow (within yelling distance). difficult child at one point decided it had come in close enough for him to go out and get it. Problems: 1. Not anywhere near the life guarded area, 2. difficult child does not know how to swim and 3. I am not a good swimmer. :surprised1: I made him wait until it came closer (alot closer, like really alot closer) to shore before walking to get it. He thinks he is safe from any unknown drop offs because his feet shuffle instead of step. :surprised1: We definetly had a discussion on the way home about that one! Also talked about looking at all consequences before doing something because when you focus on one thing, you don't always see the possible dangers. [/QUOTE]
