Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. I love I told you so's. This should be no surprise to long term listeners of the show. I love an I told you

so. I love even I Told You So. I love even more than I Told You So is where it's so obvious that I don't even need to say I told you so. Just a look will do. And sometimes it's not even a look, just maybe even looking away from them, indicating they know. Silence speaks volumes sometimes, doesn't it?

And I love predicting what's going to happen and then the thing happens. This happened at the weekend. Okay. There was a child and it was a thing happens. This happened at the weekend. Okay. There was a child and it was a three or four-year-old child. Okay. And it was out of reach of its mother who was a while away trying to get a cheeky pic of the child playing close to a pond.

And I said to my youngest daughter, August, because we were playing some outdoor chess. Big chess. Oh, yeah. Beat her. She still hasn't beat me, but she got pretty close. This is the closest she's got. She's getting better. I don't know how some outdoor chess. Big chess. Oh, yeah. Beat her. She still hasn't beat me, but she got pretty close. This is the closest she's got. She's getting better. I thought parents these days are meant to let their kids win at things.

Fuck no. Yeah. Crash team racing, anything we play. Overcooked. It's never my fault when we get caught. Yeah, right. Our orders all back up and we fail the level. No, no, no, no, no.

I'm keeping it real. Good. And I said to August during this chess thrashing, I said, that kid's going to fall in the pond. And I said to August during this chess thrashing, I said, that kid's going to fall in the pond. And she said, no. And I said, I'm not going to push him in the pond, August. No, don't do that, Dad.

He's going to fall in the pond. And she was like, do you reckon? I was like, look at this little dickhead. Is that what you said? I said, look at this little dickhead. About a child that you don't know. He's being a dickhead. And then

I turned back And I moved The bishop Which can move Diagonally of course Fletch Yep You're a big chess guy

I'm more of a You know Chinese checkers I don't call them that anymore Just checkers Germans invented Chinese checkers Wild

And then slammed it On the Chinese No it wasn't It was like It is racist Chinese checkers Because it's like Hard to understand Or something like that.

And that's how the Germans go with the name. It's as complicated as Chinese. Oh. So we're playing chess. No, we don't stand by that. Just to distance ourselves from the Chinese checkers. And I actually call them Taiwan checkers. Well, no, that's a separate.

You're a one China man. No, no, no, no. I've gifted them to Taiwan. Okay, right. As a make good. And the bishop moved diagonally and I put it down and then I heard splash and I didn't even need to look. And I looked at August and she looked at me and just was like, nod.

Nice. Like that. Michael Payne nod at the end of Batman. Was anyone saving this kid? Yeah. While you're sitting there feeling good about it. His mother panicked and like ran towards him. Oh, no, no, no.

My baby, my baby. How into the pond? I just tumbled into towards him. Oh no, oh no, my baby, my baby. How into the pond? He just tumbled into the pond. Oh, okay, right. But it was gross work.

it had that stagnant stink to it. Ponds are yuck. Ponds are gross. Ponds are yuck. The minute a duck will live there, get rid of them.

Anything with like floating livery on top. Yeah. That's yuck. I'm not getting in there. Yeah, that's yuck.

It's too stagnant. Slimy. This thing needs to be moving. Yeah. We's yuck I'm not getting in there Yeah that's yuck It's too stagnant Slimy This thing needs to be moving Yeah We need to get a spa pool Heat pump in there Yeah A big filtration system

Yeah And some chlorine I think they call that a pool Yeah we should make them Into those A natural pool Yeah nice So anyway

It felt real good To be right To watch a kid fall into water Well I didn't see him Because I was moving the bishop As previously stated But I heard the splash, and then I knew, and I turned, and he was panicking, but he did kind of drag himself back up onto the rocks.

Right. It's sort of interesting that, like, you know, Fletch and I are always the ones who are like, oh, we sort of like it when you see a kid fall over or something like that, or tell them to shut up, and you're always like, no, kids are the best part of my life. Oh, mine are. Being a dad is the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

And we're like, sure. Do you guys follow Kids Getting Hurt, the Instagram page? No. Oh, you simply must. I didn't know that was a thing. 7.1 million followers.

Oh, amazing. Oh, that dog just smashed a kid. But the idea is the parents, they'll only take submissions from the people who filmed it, the parents.

Oh, yeah. And as long as the child sustained no lifelong injuries. Oh, yeah. It's like, what's that one? Kook slams. Kook sl no lifelong injuries. Oh yeah. It's like, what's that one? Kook slams. Yeah.

They always have to be like, he's fine. Yeah. Whereas there are those pages that will occasionally pop up on my Instagram algorithm where they are not fine. No, they're not fine.

They're dead. They're dead. And how the hell is this on the internet? I'm just watching a kid. She's getting pushed on a swing now. She is wearing a helmet,

thank God. But that's a broken leg. So anyway, I'd recommend kids getting hurt. This kid didn't even get hurt. He just fell on the pond. And I'm imagining ruined the family's day because he would have been stinky until they could have washed him. Like snagging a poop.

Stagging a duck shit pond.
