So, when I was 9, my dad and I decided to go hiking, and there was this river that would always be next to the trail. So, my dad told me that there was a $100 bill on the edge of the river, and as I went to go down and get it, my dad grabbed me, and threw me into the river. And, he didn’t help me. All he did was scream “SWIM YOU IDIOT!” And I remember just gasping for air and trying to float to the surface. After a while, I learned how to float, then I paddled myself to the dirt. I was so f**king mad for the rest of the day, and my dad just acted like nothing happened lol

I was sooo mad lmao

Your dad sounds like a total dick

Ehh, you’re not wrong, but you’re not right.

NONONONON NOOOOO NONO

wot

Y shotgun?

bc YES

Oh dear

Wait- you fell for the $100 bill thing?!

Yes

Oh, good. But it was a good lesson.
You could have died, or you could've learned how to swim. Meaning, a win-win for dad.

Lmao

I don't know how to swim, and my dad tried doing that but he failed I heard him behind me and I moved and he fell in the water XD

Oh, so you just hold your breath and you will float to the surface

XD ik that but I can't swim for long where I live because if my asthma and it's only really bad in the summer

O

So after like 30 seconds I'm out of breath and can do anything

Oof

I almost drowned once as well

Rlly?

Mhm.

How?

Its called being short and trying to swim can be a pain.

OOF

Oh, I remember my first time almost drowning, it was waaay before this

I also almost died from fallin off a cliff in a car

What happened?

We will leave it at people can't drive

Best story ✨e v e r✨ lol

woah, thats f**kin brutal as hell bro

It did work, so I’m fine with it lol

oh ok

and that’s how I learned how to swim

That’s mean, and smart at the same time.

Still kinda brutal to do to a nine year old though.

It was his way of showing me how to swim. There is this connection between me and my dad where we annoy eachother

Strange, but understandable.
