I would never tell a lie, especially about such an innocent event. Some people even compare me to the great Honest Abe. This cousin’s getaway was a relaxing, peaceful, and non-violent trip. We were not chasing each other off a dock but jumping off the boat as bonding moments. Who says that adults cannot act like children? I admit we were not acting completely responsible, but when cousins get together this happens. Caitlin also assumed that we were jumping off of a small boat into a small lake when this is simply untrue. Deep Creek Lake is actually quite large and reaches great depth towards the middle. One of my older cousins, who actually makes money, rented a tall boat which did have railings. This did not prevent us from jumping because we just climbed over them! September of 2010 was actually a warm month. During the day and high noon the sun kept us warm. I believe I even got a bit of a tan that weekend. This is no longer the 90's; I’m sure global warming has started to take and effect on the world’s climate. Hence, heat in September. In response to Jumping counter-narrative:

This identification badge is quite real, hastily printed out from the city personnel office press located across the street from the Baltimore City Hall. You have discovered my ruse, however. This badge is NOT a simple City Hall identification badge, but rather, my means of access to the crabcake vault located deep beneath the government building. The address 100 North Holliday street is very real, but as those who are well-versed in Baltimore history know that City Hall USED to be located at that address before it sank in the great quicksand disaster of 1830. A new City Hall was rebuilt directly on top of the old building, the street renamed Guilford, after the brave mayor who died in the 1830 disaster, desperately making phone calls as he went down with his proverbial ship. The old City Hall was repurposed into a crabcake vault, which stores the entire Baltimore inventory of crabcake recipes and seasoning, a secret which has been hidden since the city's inception, only to be revealed by Caitlin's investigative wit.
