a place to put random discourses on life
Published on February 24, 2007 By lifehappens In Humor
Boy and I were watching a documentary about Japan, they showed a clip of some brown bears catching some pink salmon. It turned into discussion on how he would catch fish (since his teeth are "too small")

*Note to Matt.....boy REALLY wants to go fishing*

"Mom, you have to take me fishing. We need a fish stick with a rope on it. The rope has to go "wooop wooop wooop". (He is drawing loops in the air to demonstrate how it is attached to the rod, ahem...fish stick)

"Then we need a straight rope on the end of the fish stick. We have to put that on and then tie a hook onto it and then put fish food on it. Then we take it and "whooosh", put it in the water and a fish will eat it."

"So, Connor, what happens if the fish isn't' hungry and doesn't eat it?"

"A SHARK might eat it And then I would pull and pull and pull that shark! But then that shark might bite my arm so I better not."

The end
"

I always thought a fish stick was something that came in a box with the name Mrs. Paul on it.

This is one of those areas that I don't know what I'm going to do to help him out. I have never been fishing once in my life. I have no skill in that area. I might get eaten by a shark.

I figure the thing to do is take him anyway, suck at it all day long, and have a great time with your son regardless.

You could do a bit of research ahead of time to try to not suck, take someone else along who doesn't suck, or even just admit to him that you do suck, but all of those are optional. The first and last parts of my first sentence (take him, have fun) really shouldn't be optional.

Or you could call your dad and find out why he never took you fishin'.
