This is how it worked:
- First, tell your wife she knows nothing and never listens and it was Lake Victoria in UGANDA not Imaginary River in Burundi and if she’s going to repeat stories, get the facts FIRST instead of having to write second and third corrections
- Drink a lot with new buddies
- Go out at night
- Take a torch
- Paddle ankle deep
- Shine torch on water
- See light bounce off crocodile eyes
- Run
Apparently, the biggest problem is the crocodiles you can’t see, because they are underwater, ready to pounce.
But that’s okay; the Hub had a branch with which to clock any attacking crocodiles.
Good grief. The wonder isn’t that he wasn’t attacked by a crocodile; the wonder is that he manages to get his socks on in the morning without falling over.
Only one thing I can say …. If you’re going to live by the river, make friends with the crocodile

Noble of you to post corrections. I took the first one with a pinch of salt anyway.

Ouch! As if I would EVER exaggerate.
I always post corrections because I am an incorrigible truth teller 🙂

I felt as if I was experiencing deja vu because I know that I have done the same thing with a few of my hubby’s stories, only to correct the errors later. 😉 It’s hard to keep all the details straight.

Best plan is to stay FAR away from those critters.

Actually, it’s better – hippos are the most dangerous African animal, killing more people than any other. They also kill crocodiles…
Can’t believe you’re still here to talk about it. Seriously impressed. 🙂
