This story is kind of odd since on Saturday evening at the Grand Haven pier when a dad jumped into Lake Michigan to retrieve a flip flop that fell off of his child.
After the dad had a tough time trying to get out of Lake Michigan, a group of bystanders used a life ring to get the man out of the lake safe and sound.
The best part of the story is that the dad was able to retrieve his child's flip flop and place it on his child.

I agree with you since a flip flop can be replaced, a life cannot be replaced in an accident.

A flip flop could be replaced but father's love to his son beyond. Thus he did his best to retrieve it for his son.

You are right since the dad is doing his best to take care of his child.

When I read about it, I thought it was a joke or an odd story.

I guess that is a good thing but it is rather silly to jump n if you are not able to get out after.

Losing a flip flop is not worth risking a life by jumping into a lake and almost drowning.

I'm glad they were able to get him out of the lake safely. I hope the flip flop was worth it! Not!

Risking a life just to get a flip flop is not worth it.
