First swim of the summer

We've got this brook right by our school. We call it "The AIDS", something which really bothers my dad, but that's not what I'm talking about right now.

Now, generally, the brook is very shallow. One can go in it and hop from rock to rock, and it's not very wide at all, so it's very easy to get something that has fallen in it or to just go across without using the bridge. However, after a rain, it will fill up. Yesterday, it rained for awhile.

So, myself and a friend went to toss a frisbee around by the school. I three it across the brook. My friend got it and threw it back to me. I was standing right next to the water, which was a lovely shade of brown. I don't really have to say what happened.

We talked about getting it with a stick for a little while. That wasn't going to work. My friend decided that maybe we could go in. She's very short, so we decided I would go in. It only went up jsut above my knee. This wasn't so bad. However, the frisbee was quite a ways away. There was a drop, and the murk was up to my waist. Then, my chest.

The best bit? When I finally got to the frisbee, the area that it was in only went to my knees.

So, we walked back.

"You know, Josh, I really feel like I should have gone in to sympathize with you. Actually, now I'd really like to go in. Oh well."

"You want to?"

We ran back.

"You know, now I'm not sure...."

I threw the disc in.


P.S. Google tells me that my highschool is the only one in America that has an outdoor amphitheatre with a brook running through it. God must REALLY like me.
