On ...HI Gus,<br /><br />I think you mean waist, not waste...<br /><br />On learning to swim, one of the funny things that Bill Cosby did was describing how he couldn't watch his daughters being taught to swim. It's from his album "To Russell my brother, whom I slept with." It's not available digitally, but the relevant part goes like this...<br /><br />"Now, I want to teach your youngest daughter to swim.<br /><br />"Erica? She's not even walking yet!<br /><br />"well, crawling is the evolutionary motion from swimming. <br /><br />"So he [the swim instructor] picks my daughter up and throws her into the deep end of the pool. And I'm telling you, man, she started doing that swimming thing, right on swimming, really cool.... AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL! With the air bubbles coming up (pop) HELP!<br /><br />If you ever get a chance, though, the B side of the album is one of the funniest expositions of sibling rivalry I have ever heard. And parental discipline. <br /><br />c. andrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
