Return of Memoryfest - Day 10/31

This one's in the same vein as yesterday's. Maybe some of you will have swimming pool-related memories or stories about meeting relatives, since the unconscious shriek didn't resonate much.

And I will be replying tomorrow. The head cold, it muddies the brain, and I had to play catch-up at work today after taking most of yesterday off.


10. High School

My grandfather's cousin R. and R.'s teenaged son M. came to visit from Sydney, Australia when I was about 14. My sister and my friend and I were out back in the swimming pool when they arrived. M. introduced himself by stripping down to his bathing suit and cannonballing in with us. We all started playing around. Soon he upended the float I was lying on. I remember letting out a cry when he did it, even though I'm a pretty quiet person and even though I saw him coming, and marveling at it as I hit the water.

WTF
