When i ws little, my mom told me about floods and how the water goe up really high. Whenever she talked to me about this, i would imagine the water going above our roof, and we'd have to swim all the way up to survive and not drown. I always hoped there wouldn't be a flood because my baby sister didn't know how to hold her breath, and i wasn't sure i could swim all the wy up without passing out and dying.
