The funny part about this day was I was just trying to get him out the house because he and his sister (11) were not getting along and Mom was frustrated. I said to him let's get outside for awhile and you know what he said? I'm not bull%$%$%$%$ting you guys now but he said "lets go to the bait shop and get some little fishes so we can catch a big fish!" How could I argue with that? We had to run a few errands and he feel asleep in the car before we got to the bait shop. I drove home and when I went to take him out of the car he woke up and said so matter of factly, "Did you get the bait?" When I said no he was so mad. I drove right back to the shop and he picked the shiners out. He could stay by the water all day. We got there at 2:30pm and left at 6pm! He'll be a way better fisherman than me. I'm just trying to show him the great outdoors and appreciate what we have around us. It's funny listening to him use the fisherman expressions like "Dad that fish hit that shiner hard!" I never taught him to say that and I found my self laughing because he was right, it did hit it hard and put up a good fight. Sorry if I'm boring anyone with this thread but i'm just a proud papa today.
