Random Childhood Story #1: It Seemed Like a Good Thing to Say at the Time!
One time I was at a birthday party for an elementary school classmate. This particular classmate’s family had a pool and just about everyone was swimming - everyone but me! The classmate’s dad, Mr. W, tried to get me to go into the pool, but for whatever reason, I didn’t want to swim at the time. Mr. W kept pressuring me until I finally said, “Look, it’s embarrassing, but I don’t know how to swim.” It was obvious that Mr. W felt bad for pressuring me, and needless to say, he stopped pressuring me immediately and left me alone. About thirty minutes later, Mr. W returned to the backyard and saw me swimming in the pool. He looked at me with a tinge of anger in his eyes and said, “I thought you couldn’t swim?” I replied, “Oh, well, I kind of made that up.” I’m sure Mr. W thinks I’m a nice person to this day.

You're a little punk, but quite amusing.
