I've heard a buddy tell this story many times. It's pretty funny.
He was a young kid, sitting on the porch with his grandfather while his dad was out under a car changing out the starter. He and his grandpa are drinking lemonade.
Grandpa, "It sure is hot, isn't it?"
Kid, "yeah, grandpa"
G, "this lemonade sure is refreshing, isn't it."
K, "yeah grandpa, it is good."
G, "I'll bet your dad is hot, working under that car, don't you think?"
K, "yeah, Grandpa, probably so."
G, "I'll bet your dad would like to be cooled off. You could take that hose over there and give him a good spray to cool him off."
So my buddy, being just a little kid and trusting his grandfather, turned on the water and sprayed his dad with the hose.
His dad hit his head on the bottom of the car and then dropped the starter on his head while trying to shimmy out from under the car.
Supposedly, his grandfather just laughed and laugh as his dad chased him around the car.
