A friend had drained one of his ponds in rural Thailand to excavate some of the dirt to build a road through his farm.
I had the idea to invite local boys from the nearby village to a water balloon fight in the muddy remains.
What ensued was a very fun experience for everyone, including parents and neighbors who functioned as spectators.
The scene speaks to both teamwork and individual competitiveness as the situation evolved from team water balloon fights to individual wrestling matches.
