I loved your boat Dad.

But I hated to fish.

Let me drive the boat.

Let me do something.

"Catch a fish", you said.

"I don't really want to fish Dad".

"Try it", you say.

"I have, dad"

You really want me to fish today apparently.

"Throw it in there and get something", you say.

Now I'm mad. I throw a line in the water.

Instantly I get a bite. I yank the pole with all my might.

A fish comes flying out of the water. Hits you right in the face.

My brothers are in tears with laughter.

I'm pretty close myself.

"Can I drive the boat now, dad?"
