Fish Tale ...

One of our kids received a battery-operated fishing game for Christmas. It's akin to a carnival game where the fish bob up and down, mouths opening and closing, and you have to drop your fishing line into an open mouth. Only this game has much smaller fish and a very tiny fishing rod. The game has proven to be an exercise in frustration for all three of our kids.

The other day, after 4-year-old Milo had been playing, unsuccessfully, for awhile, I noticed a pile of eyeball stickers on the table.

"Where did these all come from?" I asked.

"It was Milo," answered Bob. "He told me he took them off the fish so they couldn't see him fishing."

Happy sweeping!
