OK Buzz, this one's just too good to keep, and it actually happened. I know because I was there and witnessed it (except for the time that I was laughing hysterically and couldn't really witness anything).
November 1978: Four men, my father, my uncle, my cousin, Troy (age 14) and myself were hunting deer in Northern Michigan. It was Troy's first year in the woods. We walked into the back acreage on my grandparents' farm and came to a ditch about 4 feet wide and full of water. My cousin started to wade across when my dad said those very words. Troy hesitated, then walked the ten feet it took to get around the ditch. My uncle replied to my dad, "Or he jumps over it, like this". He proceeded to jump across the ditch......and fell flat on his face into 18 inches of extremely cold water. I didn't see him get up since, as I said, I was laughing hysterically.
I could not resist photographing the puddle on this back road and the reflections.
A little boys dream...Never met a puddle that I didn't like, or one to run through.
It is said that a boy becomes a man when he walks around a puddle instead of through it.

While we cannot stop the aging process, I can always act immature(ly).

The only negative is that they don't tend to hold fish.
