During the summer of my 4th birthday, I was playing with marbles on the beach at Saint Simons Island, GA. In spite of a lot of encouragement from my parents, I would not put my foot into the ocean or beach foam. This went on for days.
One day, however, an aggie (marble made from beautiful stone, not glass) rolled down the hard sand into the water. I went after it and my parents had to retrieve me from the water. I don’t recall whether i retrieved the aggie but doubt it.
But I had no problem going into the ocean afterwards.
