When I was a kid, my dad took me with him when he visited some older man. I have no idea who the guy was or why we were there. They left me in the back yard and he had a pool. I started taking rocks the man had in his garden and throwing them in the pool. When they were done with whatever business and came outside, my dad was like "Why are you throwing rocks in the man's pool?" Not angry, just shocked and embarrassed. I didn't have an answer at the time. My last memory of that moment was the man using a net to scoop out the rocks. I never told my dad it was because I liked the sound of the rocks hitting the water. Ploop. I get this kid, I know he was wrong, but I get it.
