person A: I will start off saying I hate the water! I can't stand being in it; however_comma_ that changed last week when I took my son to his first pool. His joy erased all my hatred for water. 
person B: Aw. Children will make us do things we NEVER thought we would (or could) do! 
person A: Yes! I start swimming lessons next week. I have went 32 years without knowing how to swim_comma_ and that one visit changed all that. 
person B: That is SO exciting! Congratulations! You are a fabulous role model for your son.
