Late night swim

Tales from the backyard…One year my sister brought her new beau over to go swimming in the lake behind our house.  We didn't actually live on the lake but had access to it by way of a small alley.  At the end there was a long dock as the lake is very shallow and at the end of the dock the water is only about 30” deep.  As teenagers they were horsing around and Lee threw my sister off the dock.  She landed on her butt, with her head easily out of the water, so she just sat there.  Showing off, thinking the water to be much deeper, mister macho man ran back up the dock and came running full speed to the end, jumped high in the air and came down head first.  Did I mention the lake bottom is hard gravel?  When they got to the house, Lee’s face was almost devoid of skin along with most of that on his chest.   I think my sister married him out of sympathy; it sure wasn't for his brains.
