When I was about 6 yrs old and living in Minnesota, I went home with a friend one day and we walked across the lake. Half way across, my friend's foot went through & she couldn't get it out. I didn't know what to do! I had lived my first 5 yrs in TX, so this was all new to me. Plus I was 6. I remember trying to dig in the ice with my mittens and it doing absolutely nothing. I saw one of our class mates and yelled to her for help. She yelled back for me to get off the lake before I fell in too. I felt like a coward but ran to the side. My friend then saw her sister on the other side of the lake and started screaming for her. I remember so clearly her sister just booking it from wa-a-a-y across the lake (she seemed so old, she was probably 8 or 9). She first pulled her foot out, and then the boot before it could sink.
That's all I remember. It seems like she never really talked to me after that.
