H2O my god that's cold!

"Look, I could tell you that it's just as awesome to be a herder or a digger or a climber or even a retriever. But then you'd notice my webbed feet, my non-shedding coat, my dorsal fin and how much faster than you I can swim – and you'd know that I was lying to your face, which would damage our relationship, which would be the worst. So instead, I'll just tell you the truth: one day, you'll wish you were a water dog. And no one will judge you because you'd be right to feel the way you do. Trust me."

That's what I think every year after my first swim of the summer.
