How to get a Wedgie

1. Go to pool with 5.5 yo Little Geek Girl (actually almost 5.75 yo if you're counting).
2. Allow LGG to convince you to go up to the 3 meter springboard platform, "just to look".
3. Think to yourself, "I'm not going to jump off that".
4. Believe LGG when she says, "If you jump off it, I will too.  Daddy will never believe it."
5. Realize that your daughter thinks you're a scaredy cat and if you want her to be brave, you need to do some brave things also.
6. Jump.
7. Instant wedgie.

Note:  LGG did not jump.  Sitting on the side of the pool, practically blind without my glasses, I watched her go to the end several times, but she wouldn't/couldn't do it.
