Today as we played outside, we noticed several large areas of water--mini lakes, actually, on the playground. The kids, of course, gravitated to them. I warned that they might be too deep to splash around in. The kids were not sure about this. We decided to approach the problem scientifically. I got a yardstick and we measured how deep the puddle was.
Whoa! almost 10 inches deep! Then, I compared the waterline on the yardstick to kids legs. They agreed after we checked that they would, indeed, get wet almost up to their knees and that even the rain boots most of them were wearing would not protect them from water that deep.
