Sea Salt Sinking >>Bageera<<

My dad came home with some 25kg (55lb) bags of sea salt for the pool. He told me to prop one of the bags up on my shoulder and keep my back straight, and rest my hand on top of the bag. Anyway, I couldn't do it. I was wobbling all over the place and almost tripped over the garbage bins several times. So I was walking faster to get to the pool quicker, and stood on the edge of the pool trying to work out a way, through my pain, how to put the bag down. My dad came up and I was squirming about saying "Help me put it down!" and he says "You can't be holding it correctly if your back's hurting" and he put his bag down and shifted the bag on my shoulder from having an equal amount on both sides to the majority of the salt on my back... and as soon as my dad let go of the bag I felt the weight and fell backwards right into the pool, almost whacking my noggin' on the side of the pool. The dogs saw a splash and came over barking, and one of them dived straight onto my head... meanwhile all my dad cared about was getting the bag out of the pool because it wasn't biodegradeble.
