When I was a kid dad sent me out to harrow a field to get it dry a bit to put oats in. He said might be wet areas, go around them.
Went out, drove 250 feet in the field and sunk.
Walked home.
Dad just muttered the whole time gather up some chain and a tractor, about how I should be old enough to stay out of the wet spots, should know better, just go around them....
Dad drives out with the tractor and chains and me, heads to the stuck tractor, and - sinks. Got his stuck too.

I never said much, but I think I grin every spring I go out to work that field the first time.
