My sensitive heart struggles with the idea that I am the reason for pain.
My kids, specifically my son, have been asking to go fishing for at least two years. My son will tap his chin like a miser thinking about hisand claim it has been since he was three or maybe two or — relax, Ben. I get it. You are the ripe old age of seven and, according to your storybooks, have been deprived of the pastime of sitting on a dock lazily waiting for the big one to bite. We don’t live in Mayberry, Son.
Anyway, whenever the weather is warm enough to think such idyllic thoughts, my kids remind me how they are anglers without a pole.since I was a kid, so the idea of re-learning the set-up felt overwhelming. But the biggest reason why I haven’t taken my kids fishing is because I feel bad for the worms and the fish.too, because while I can make myself weep with the idea of animals suffering or dying, I am a carnivore. I love meat and perplex myself. I also eat a decent amount of fish.
The van was loaded with borrowed gear I acquired after impulsively asking if anyone had a few small fishing poles I could borrow to take the kids fishing. I am not sure what came over me, but we had a day’s worth of snacks, and now worms to fuel the dream — or nightmare — come true, depending on who you asked.I had a loose plan that included beach hopping and sending prayers into the universe that we didn’t catch anything.
I had almost become immune to watching the worms wiggle in protest when I poked them with the hook, but I was not prepared for the eyes of the first fish my son caught.
