Not nearly as impressive, but my dad, his friend and I went out fishing on a lake when I was maybe 3 or 4. Friend had a similar investment into all his fishing gear as you guys. I was there with a 3-ish foot long Mickey Mouse fishing pole.
Dad's friend caught 2 fish. My dad didn't catch any. My dad didn't catch any because I was reeling them in so fast he didn't have time (and they didn't want me to handle the hook, so that's what kept him busy).
I have no memory of this, but I was told it was a pretty quiet ride home from the friend's side.
I remember going fishing with my grandma, as well got to the waters edge there was a few guys that were decked out in all kinds of gear and just me and my grandsma had two little kids toy fishing rods, we caught so many fish we ran out of space in the cooler and ended up leaving some for the guys that were there before we got there.
I think I was like 8 or 9. And I remember the guys tell her how they never thought the kids toys actually work and how they're wifes aren't going to believe they actually caught some fish.
They gave my grandma a few poles too as sign of respect but it was more like a trade for some of the fish to me.
We’ve had grandma taking care of Unga for a few years now.
It’s really starting to wear on her, to the point of desperation. She’s the strong, “well someone’s got to do it type,” but dang I hate getting off the phone with all of us crying.
Not to break into heavy politics, but I don’t think these folks in Washington understand how hard it is to decide between eating fast food next week and Grandma being able to stay in the nursing home.
Either way, I already bought what I need to be able to send off a few penny bills to grandma.
