I did tho’, learn when taking lessons at the “Apple Orchard”, that it is much better to dive in the water head first than to jump in feet first. You come to the surface sooner.

Better still is the fact that you are willing to speak to them and continue the friendship. <br /><br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-30110552934936675522009-10-27T13:13:10.102-06:002009-10-27T13:13:10.102-06:00Sure, play the big guy, splashing your empty head ...Sure, play the big guy, splashing your empty head under water at midnight!<br /><br />But those wet new trousers!
