This is nice but mom needs to learn how to swim AND how to gauge that waves are too strong for kids to go beyond wasing level.

Time for mom and both girls to get some first aid training so they become more self aware.

Luckily the rescuer found the esky lid otherwise the girl who described her 'struggle to keep her head above water' might have grabbed her and pulled her down in her effort to stay up.

As a mom, my girls would be starting Red Cross swimming lessons as soon as we got home. Hopefully they will learn from this and be able to save others in the future.

Oddly, me too.

Did anyone consider that she wanted to stay at the shelter? She went "home".

That sounds excessive. I guess it has become a lot more complex than it used to be.

I'm rather curious how cumbersome some paperwork for a puppy would be? They don't mention details on why the paperwork was so onerous. It's a puppy not a nail clipper.

It is more likely that their reading comprehension is just fine - and your writing skills are flawed.

Hahaha. I was wondering why they had rules for how you could wear your hair on the beach.

Then I thought it was for people Working On The Beach.

Finally, Oh.... "Miami Beach" is the city not "Miami".

Then that moment of sadness when you realize why they have to create these laws there.

Sometimes those of us not in the US forget how racist it still is.
