Alex and Bill went skipjack fishing the other day. They brought home 12 nice-sized fish.
Alex has become a good little fisherman. Bill said he waded out up to his chest (Alex did) to be able to cast into the school of fish as they moved farther away from shore.
When they returned home, Bill gave Alex a lesson in filleting a fish.
Just before the lesson, Alex said, with a bit of a swagger, “Yep, I’m a man now.”
When he says things like that, I have to chase him around the house for a bit. Man or no, he’s a very ticklish little boy. Reminding him of that is my job.
Anyway, I was going to share all the pictures I took during the fillet lesson…but I like the one above the best, and I think it says everything that needs saying.
