This video captures a moment all siblings can identify with: you think you’re all about to run and jump in the frigid lake when really, someone has secretly decided they’d much rather stay on the warm, dry land.
This little girl made a last-minute decision not to take the plunge with the rest of her family—and promptly got her comeuppance. She’s so worried about her wet brethren coming back to drag her into the lake that she skips backwards, right off the other end of the dock.
That’s some swift karmic justice.
