The boy went to camp today without me. I took today off while one of the other parents handled things for the day. I just got an email that he caught a fish today, so that means he’ll get his named called out at the end of the day gathering. Good for him I says. He’ll have something exciting to talk about. Judging by the picture I received, it looks to be a 5 or 6 inch bluegill. We’ll see how big he claims it to be when he gets home.
The more surprising move comes from the lass, who also wanted to go to camp today. Thing is, she didn’t have to go because I wasn’t going. But she insisted on it. Luckily, the other parent had no problem taking her; she was just as amazed when I asked but thought it was great that the lass was so enthusiastic.
So I get a day off to do fun stuff like, mowing the lawn, weeding and other odd jobs that had been on hold. A father’s work is never done.
