Kids are hilarious. We all know that! You see, the thing with kids is that they have innocent, young minds and they do not process or think about things the way that adults do…

The ocean is a cruel mistress. It takes many lives with its powerful waves and fearsome depths. It’s important to practice safety anytime you’re near a body of water, lest you run the danger of drowning. The sea is unpredictable, but knowing the facts can help keep you safe in the long run.

According to the CDC, between 2005 and 2014 alone there was an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional, non-boating-related drownings per year. That boils down to the sea taking about ten lives per day. About 330 individuals met their fate each year from drowning in accidents that were boat related. While most people can swim, many never had the option to learn or are affected by other factors that reduce their swimming capabilities.

Where it gets sad, though, is when you look at the age range of drowning victims. About one in five individuals who die from drowning are actually children who are 14 or younger. For every child that does die from drowning, fortunately, five “receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries”.

More than half of all drowning victims who are treated in emergency departments are required to face hospitalization or transfer somewhere else for additional care. This doesn’t seem too bad initially- it’s better than drowning- but when you compare it to the hospitalization rate of 6% for all unintentional injuries it seems a bit less appealing.

This is especially true when you know that these drowning injuries, while nonfatal, can cause severe brain damage that could result in lifelong disabilities like memory problems, learning disabilities and permanent loss of basic motor skills or even basic functioning in some cases. With drowning able to render someone in a permanent vegetative state, heavy precautions have to be taken.

Three boys named Sray, Son, and Bopha take themselves down to the river just a half mile from their village. Armed with large saw-like machetes, these boys aren’t messing around. They have to put on a show because just recently their village was given a camera to capture daily life.

The boys are getting in the water and at first you’re wondering why? Maybe it’s to cool off, but why the machete? The boys seem to have no issues with the brown muddy water. Good thing they have their cool speedo shorts on and are ready for an adventure.

Quickly the boys swim over to set traps. The traps stretch across the small river creating a blockage. They learned this technique from their father. The boys are all half brothers and have the same father, but each a different mother. Their father was the master hunter for the village, making him highly sought after by the women.

The Internet has this uncanny ability to elevate the most unknown person and make them into a star. This can happen with just one viral post, whether it is a video or a picture that sets social media on fire. For that brief time, the person who is anointed can enjoy fame or infamy, depending on the situation.

But the negative side of this kind of rapid ascension is that the fall is usually just as swift. Remember when that bad singer Sanjaya was all the rage on social media because even though he had very little talent, viewers refused to vote him off American Idol? No? You don’t remember him? Exactly.

And that’s why anyone who seeks fame and fortune via social media is doomed to only enjoy that fame for a brief, shining moment, and that is especially true if that fame was derived from a pursuit that people found ridiculous to begin with. Which in a roundabout way brings us to one of these flaming comets: Octomom.
