My daughter wanted to go ice skating for some reason this weekend. She crammed her feet in to her too small skates and zipped around a nearby lake. I drove her down the road to a small lake near our house to do so. I was standing on the edge watching her. Near me were some cattails. I watched for awhile, and then shifted my weight to my right foot. Whooosh, went through the ice and up to my hip in cold muck. This was 2 steps from shore.
I had on my knee high mcud boots, so I filled one up with water! Hustled back to the truck a few steps away and drove home with my daughter laughing at me the whole way. She's 13 so time is short. Any chance to do something with her- I'm gonna be there. This one will be remembered awhile as "one step to far".
BTW she skated really well for having her feet almost doubled over in her old skates.
