“Have you ever been up to a creek without a paddle? What happened?” This is actually a really, really funny and recent experience. Okay. So in some of these past recordings I’ve talked about like my experience going to the cottage with my entire family — uh, my related family on my dad’s side.
And so we were out there paddle boarding, uh, because the place had left us with three paddle boards, two paddles. Um, and, so we were just paddle boarding. So we used all three paddle-, we used all three paddle boards, right? And just on one paddle board, we had the — we used kayak paddles instead of an oar.
Um, but so, so we were all paddling, uh, like two on each, one had three. And my cousin thrust the paddle down into the water to see if it’d come back up and it came right back up, right? And he kept doing it and doing it. And he was on the paddle and he was doing this in the lake. And one time it did not come up, so he jumped into the water and he could not find the paddle. And it wasn’t the kayak paddle, it was the oar.
And so there were two paddles — so now there were three paddle boards, only two paddles. And we had like connected our paddle boards, right, but then ours got disconnected. So we were just out there. So then we took it and swam with it to try to get there, um, but it was a long process because we did not have the right tool. Because we needed three paddles, and we only had two, right? Because of that experience. So yeah, in that situation, we were up a creek, literally, without a paddle.
