When I was little I though that to go into the deep end of the pool, your legs grew to the length of the pool. Basically I thought grownups grew stilts so they could walk along the bottom of the pool. Only grownups could grow the stilts, and thats why I couldn't walk around the deep end. You'd think that I would've looked into the pool and figured it out, but I never did.
