Okay, I will vent.
My wife and two daughters decide we should go fishing today. Awesome idea, but I remember the last few times I have taken them. I never get to fish and instead spend the entire time fixing rods, casting lines for them. etc. But darn it, this time is going to be different. So I get a license, beer and bait last night. Start rigging poles for lake trout fishing. Going to be a great day.
Get up this morning--hit Starbucks for the girls. At the lake by 6:30. Place is packed, but we find a spot. Cast my 14 year olds line out. Get my 9 year olds out. Starting setting mine up and I can't help but notice my wife and both daughters are shivering and turning blue. It is windy, windy and this is a mountain lake, but all of them insisted on dressing lightly. So they are freezing. Great, 1st Strike.
Before I cast my line, I decide to check my 14 year old line because it is snagged on something. So while I am working on that, my wife comes over and accidently bumps my daughter's chair which my daughter, for some reason, had left her new Iphone on You guessed it!!! PLOP goes the Iphone in the lake. The look on my daughter's face was as if someone curb stomped a puppy in front of her. Which immediately was replaced with a wail and tears that everyone around the lake could hear. So my wife goes wadding into the freezing lake and retrieves the phone, which is remarkably still working. Daughter crying. Wife now wet and crying. 9 year old attempting to find the good in this situation---"Well dad, at least it isn't raining," She says. 2nd Strike.
Now I haven't cast a line yet. The 14 year old is in shock and doesn't want to fish anymore. The 9 year old has reeled in her line and caught it on something and we lost the set up. I let her use my pole and 10 minutes later she gets that snagged on something as well. Which makes 3 hooks and sinkers I have lost in less than 20 minutes. Strike 3. I announce we are going home.
I quickly stop at the nearest supermarket by the lake and buy Tupperware and some rice and thrown the phone in there. All three fall asleep in the car on the way home and no one says a word to each other. I am home. 14 year old in room sleeping,. Wife upstairs sleeping,. 9 year old playing a video game. I am going to go do yard work,
So the next time I hear someone say, "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work." I am going to kick them in the balls.
Happy Fathers Day to me.....
