Dealing with WAW Part 3

[pilot]

Ok, I think I win the GAL and PMA in front of the WAW award today. W and I took the kids to the beach. It was a good day, kids were playing in the water, W and I were having a few beers, tossing the football around. After a bit, we were sitting in our beach chairs listening to some Zac Brown, when we heard a man yell for help. I looked up and saw a family of 4 about 100 yards offshore and the dad yelled help again. I jumped up and swam out there. I had no idea what was wrong. They did not seem to be flailing, and all 4 were together. I figured it was a shark bite or something. So I get out there, and the older kid, a boy about 10, was going under. I grabbed him, and held him above water. The dad yelled at me to help his daughter who he was holding. I grabbed her as well. So now I have 2 kids. The dad then yelled at me to help him too. The mom was not saying anything, but she was struggling as well. As I held on to the 2 kids, well, they were clinging like magnets, a kayak came up and helped the dad and I swam next to the mom while holding onto the two kids and guided her back to the beach.

So next time you are looking for a GAL, save a couple of kids from drowning. Jokes aside, once I got back to shore and began to process what had just happened, I about lost it. The fear in those kids eyes and the helpless plea for help from the dad. I mean, I hate it for him, but I hated it more for the kids. And what make me madder than hell is that when I got back to the beach, there were dozens of people all lined up along the shore to watch. Hell it is probably on YouTube by now. What the H3ll people. Swim out and help...there were kids out there.

At any rate, I guess that probably makes a good impression for the day in front of W.
