First off, make sure you take off your shoes before walking across Mom's clean floor. Secondly, if you're outside playing ball and the ball flies over the fence and lands in a pile of quicksand - don't go get it! Instead, ask Dad what to do. On second though, maybe we'd better explain a little bit about quicksand...
Quicksand is nothing more than sand particles supported by water rather than other sand particles. Kind of like sand mud. Its density is greater than the density of most other things, hence, you'd float in it. If you struggle around you'll only sink further. Keeping that in mind, here's what you do if you fall in quicksand - be still. You'll stop sinking at which point you can use slow swimming movements to get yourself on 'top' of the quicksand, then simply roll until you reach solid ground. This would be a good time to go explain this to Dad in case the situation ever arises...

Yes, quicksands do really exist. What to to do when you fall into one? Don't struggle so much, because the more you struggle, the more you get suck. Try to balance your body weight on top of the sand. by lying in your belly and of course, shout for help.

There is definitely something that is known as quicksand and if you happen to fall in it just count your blessings and pray to God to save you!

Yes, there is such a thing. If you were to fall in, you're supposed to try to turn on your side....as hard as it may sound.
