I was pumping my legs back and forth to try to get the highest first. I could see my dad out of the corner of my eye, he was getting close to me. Me and my dad were swinging at the same tempo, It was a tie. But as soon as my mom declared a tie between my dad and me, out of the left corner of my peripheral vision I saw the bottom of my dad's bright red swing fall out from underneath of him with a loud snap, and a thump as he hit the ground. While he came tumbling to the ground, unfortunately, his pants did not. His most esteemed St.Louis cardinal baseball shorts had been caught on the hook of the swing, and completely ripped off his legs. I jumped out of the swing in one swift motion and doubled over laughing on the ground, mostly because there was a whole group of onlookers sitting in the pavilion, stifling what looked like sneers of amusement. I can’t even perceive the amount embarrassment my dad was going through. He bolted to the men's restroom and waited there until my grandma arrived with another pair of pants, and a ride to take us all
