I was at the pool the other day with the kids. I don't understand why they do this. Each of my children feel the need to report the water depth relative to their own height. They all use the same terminology and they assume that I know what they are talking about, which of course I do. Whenever we move to different location in the pool I'm inundated with reports on the water depth:
(any child): Dad. This is flat-footed. Did you see that? Ok, this is tippy-toe. See? And finally this is tippy-top-toe.
Their amount of pride is directly related to the amount that their heads are submerged during their demonstrations. Fascinating.
