Funny story relating to that, when I was 5 I was told that you couldn’t dig more than 6 feet in Florida because you would hit the “water line,” so I assumed that if you dug further you’d just hit the ocean and drown. Also yes the water there tastes like sulfur all the time and it’s nasty af, had to learn to get over my aversion to water after living there early on.

So silly! The water line in Florida is much shallower than that.

  You’re absolutely right, I didn’t think too hard about that part of the story and that kid-brain interpreted “a few feet” as “as tall as my dad.”

    The water line in Florida is above the ground

    Here in lies the funny part, water line (edge of the water) vs water line (pipe that transfers water).
