The Okoyes were treading water - literally! Mr. Okoye, the adventurous one, had decided to take the family to a swimming pool, but things quickly got out of hand.
Chidi, the sarcastic one, was clinging to the side of the pool, saying, "I'm good, I'm good. I don't need to learn how to swim. I can just hang out here forever."
Nneoma, the voice of reason, was trying to reassure him, "Chidi, it's okay! You got this! Just kick your legs and move your arms!"
Obinna, the little troublemaker, was splashing around, yelling, "Marco! Polo! Oh wait, I'm the only one playing!"
Mrs. Okoye, the patient one, was trying to keep everyone afloat, saying, "Okay, okay, let's take it one stroke at a time. We're all in this together...literally."
As they struggled to stay afloat, the Okoyes learned that sometimes you have to tread water to get to the other side (or at least to the pool ladder). And Mr. Okoye? Well, he learned to always check the depth of the pool before jumping in!
