We had an above-ground pool. It was about 4' tall, so was i.
My older, if not wiser siblings, have taught me to dive in off of the aproximately 3" edge of the pool. If you have ever seen one you know they are damn shifty....
So in I go... or thought, I was going, when my body decided to fling itself the entirely opposite direction, and go hurtling towards the concrete slab that, in all my parents genius, had about 1'5" from the pool.
I don't know that I learned my lesson, but, I did break my arm.
