When my brother and I were very young, our family rented a house that had a dried-up hog pond out in the field next door. We managed to construct a small dam to gather water after a good rain.
The first time it really filled up the pond to a depth of about two feet. We surmised that we had a good thing going if we only had a boat. We improvised by borrowing our mother's best washtub and dragging it out to the "lake". The only problem was whether or not it would be seaworthy. Being of good common redneck sense, we decided to send it out for a test run before we dared risk it.
However, a test run is no good without a test pilot. We convinced our little sister to volunteer for the boatride of her life. The test was a failure. Upon capsizing the boat, little sister found out just how DEEP years of hogwallowing mud and pig fertilizer can be!
Final scene was me dragging the dirty, stinking "boat" back to the house and my brother dragging the dirty, stinking, screaming little sister behind me. (I was impressed that a six-year old could retain that many curse words in such a little brain!)
After recuperating from the corporal punishment, big brother and I immensely enjoyed retelling the adventure at every family reunion. To this day, however, little sister has never seen the humor of it at all.
