I was talking to a mom, and it was a pretty serious conversation. She kept trying to get her 11 year old son not to hear, so she asked him to go somewhere (and indicated somewhere out of earshot where his brother was) for two minutes. He came back and what he did next made me laugh! He approached us and turned his wrist to look at it. BUT HE DIDN'T WEAR A WATCH! I asked, did you just pretend you were looking at a watch to get you mom to stop talking. Yes, he admitted! Kids really are like little adults!
I was swimming laps and taking frequent breaks at master's swim practice. A bug I had seen before was on the edge, about to fall in. I remember reading that it was Quebec's largest beetle, so I thought I'd rescue it. Unfortunately he didn't need rescuing, and he was a water bug. As I looked for something for him to climb on, he jumped on me and buried himself quickly in the bosom of my swimsuit! I jumped back and screamed, and had to later apologize to my teammate for potentially showing too much of my cleavage in a wild attempt to get the bug out of my swimsuit, that was designed more for hiding flaws than aerodynamics, so there was a concerning amount of material he could hide in! Later, after I could not see him, I tried to swim again, but I ended up wondering if he was still burrowing in, so I soon jumped out and stripped in the bathroom cabinet to make sure. I looked it up afterwards. It is called a Giant Water Bug, and you are not encouraged to touch it, as apparently it can bite. Luckily he saw me as a means to rescue and not a threat! I still look for him when I swim in the deep end of the pool!
