Many years ago, when my kids were very little, we were at the beach. My toddler son was just in the water, a couple of feet from shore and a small wave came and sort of washed over him. It was so weird, it was like he just instantly submitted to the water. Thankfully I had been watching, yelled something to my husband who just snatched him up.

If I hadn't been watching that very second I suspect this tale would have a very different ending.

Very good post, I hope it gets widely read.
