Lake Atitlan, The Kayak, And the Hole

Tammy, "Let's go kayaking."
Darren, "Okay."
Tammy, "This wall wasn't here the last time we stayed here."
Darren, "which kayak do you want?"
Tammy, "The smallest one."
Darren, They all look the same."
Tammy, "you take the yellow one then."

Marcus got the blue kayak. Tammy got the purplish one. Darren got the yellow one. 

Out we go onto the lake. 

Ten minutes out. 

Darren, "do you have water in your kayak?"
Tammy, "A little"
Darren, "My boat feels tippy"
Tammy, "oh common, they are all tippy. Stop whining.
Darren, "No I'm serious. My boat is sinking."
Marcus, "can I help?"
Darren, "No. I just need to get home."
Darren trying to paddle while balancing on a boat. 
Darren, "Tammy. I think I am sinking."
Tammy, "you're okay.  It looks like your front is too low. Try scooting back."
Darren, "no I'm sinking. There is a hole in the boat."
Tammy, "all the boats have holes in them.
Marcus, "do you need help?"
Darren, "No I need to get back to the dock. I'm sinking."
Tammy, "Oh, now I see.  You're going to have to get off and swim to shore."
Darren, "No I'm not."  As I try to paddle and balance in the boat.l
Marcus, "Do you need help?"
Tammy, "No he's trying to stay in the boat and he's not going to be able to."
Darren, "Oh crap."  Darren tips over into the lake and is completely drenched.  
Tammy, "eeeeeeeee". This is Tammy laughing at Darren. 
Darren, "cannot be repeated because Marcie will be disappointed."
Darren swims to shore with the boat and walks to the beach through the sludge empties the boat of water and the rows back to the hotel. 

This was really funny even for me.
