I was being a wise guy in that the morale of your story WASN'T that people didn't drown because you all learned to swim.
Nobody drowned, because nobody would tell, because then playtime would be over.
Imagine the sarcasm of a mean older brother picking on his little sister.

God forbid one of us did. I was speaking of a stubbed toe, falling on the cement and diving into each other....for fear of being "it".

I have an older brother AND sister. Being the little one did me NO favors. That's why I learned to swim so quickly. ;)
