Sam Side Story

I little glimpse into the world of Samuel Duffy Herlehy- uber competitor.
Young Sam, just 2 days ago, discovered that he could- in fact swin in the shallow end of the pool without his swim vest. Made him feel like quite the big shot.

So yesterday this happens:

(Scene set-up: Samuel and Baylor are eating lunch by the deep end of the pool with mom auntie and grandma. Sam has a handful of food.)
Sam: Bay, first one in the pool wins.
Sam (pointing): Hey Bay- look at that Bird in that tree!
Distraction technique works as Baylor looks away from the pool towards the fictional 'bird in the tree'
Sam shoves remaining food into mouth (he is not a waster), and jumps into the closest pool access to him- the deep end.
Sam, not wanting to get him overflowing mouth of food wet, refuses to put his face into the water, which would actually enable him to swim to the side.
Thus, Sam begins to sink.
Mom needs to jump into the pool to rescue, the uber-competitive, deceitful child.

Dad is so very proud.
