Fun in the sun nearly took a deadly turn.
But little hero and his love of a certain cartoon saved the day.
Reese Ranceray has dreams of being a reporter. But this past Saturday he became the news by saving a 5-year-old neighbor's life at the Borgenicht family pond...

Too often these kind of stories end in tragedy. Thought it would be nice to post one with a happy ending.

What a great, great story with a warm, happy ending! Congratulations to Reese and all the best to both families. I have a swimming pool and two grandkids under 3 years old, and even with every precaution in place, it still scares me to death! In fact just yesterday I sent my daughter a check to put them both in swimming lessons for the summer. Way to go Reese!!!!

“Reese Ranceray has dreams of being a reporter.”
Maybe now, he'll try to make something of his life, instead.

My son did his son’s bathroom in Sponge Bob. I literally cringed when I had to go in there.
*shudder*

You don’t like Sponge Bob? Are you serious? You might need to see someone about that condition........

Sounds like this kid has WAY to much common sense. He would be rejected by the New York Slimes......

Hey, I never got the kid-appeal of a dorky looking, talking sponge either.
He may just be my new hero!

That looks very close to our bathroom.
Our toilet seat is, however, a SpongeBob fabric cover.
Before you ask - I am 62, my wife is 49. There are no small children living at home. We simply think that SpongeBob is the best TV on TV.

"He may just be my new hero!"
The show is a lot deeper than you might suppose.
In one notable episode, SpongeBob is told to "empty his mind." The scene becomes a lot of little SpongeBobs in an office setting inside his head, frantically trying to shred, burn and dispose of all the contents of SpongeBob's brain.
After some activity, one of the little SpongeBobs turns to another and asks "What will happen to us?"
The answer from the other little SpongeBob?
"We don't really exist. We're just a clever visual metaphor for the abstract concept of thought."
Try 'splainin' that one to your six-year-old!

It’s your bathroom and I support your right to display Spongebob when and where you want. Actually, it probably looks sort of cool.
To: DemforBush
Why in God’s name would a non-swimming mom permit her 5 year old to go anywhere near a pool? Idiocy!
