At tage en dukkert i det iskolde vand.

She shook her head.
"Det er du sgu for gammel til, Lars!

Han begyndte at tage sine sko af.
He started taking off his shoes.
Ingrid rullede øjne af ham men holdt samtidig øje med ham.
Ingrid rolled her eyes at him, but kept an eye on him.
Lars stod klar til at hoppe i vandet, men blev forhindret af Ingrid's råb.
Lars was ready to jump into the water, but was stopped by Ingrid's shout.

Hun blev afbrudt af sit eget latter.
She was interrupted by her own laughter.
"Så du er også kommet med i kløerne, smartass," svarede Lars med et grin.
"So you also got caught up, smartass," Lars replied with a grin.
