Swimming Champions
They had a very few interests in common. One of those rare things that they had in common was Swimming. They hated it equally. They were scared of it. But having read about how good it was to introduce infants to swimming, they decided to take the little one to a pool when he was eight months old.
The sight of the water brought queasy memories of the deep pools and lakes where they tried to learn swimming. But, they decided to be brave this time. The little one seemed really excited and he felt so at ease with the trainer. The watched it from the edge of the pool but at some point they had to get into the pool.
Peter put his brave face on and entered the water. With every step in his confidence grew. A voice inside him said he could do it! The missus followed him slowly.
And then it happened - Peter slipped, freaked out and fell face first into the water. He scared almost everyone in the pool. And in an effort to help him, the missus went after him. A second later, Peter seemed to have dragged her into the water as well.
Two grown ups battling the water and the crowd laughing hysterically, the life guard was so annoyed and he had to say it loud!
'Hey, you two! For godsake get out of the water you! Its just two feet deep!'

Nice Narration. Just a doubt, your write-ups get filtered by the missus or she gets to read them only after it gets published?
