Wash Day


One summer my late husband and I rented a cabin in northern Minnesota and took the family on a week's vacation. Our young granddaughter had never been fishing so she needed some help from Grandpa. It wasn't long before she was casting out and reeling in her line like a pro. Now 4 year olds are not known for their patience and the procedure began to happen on an average of every two minutes. After several tries and still no fish she announced, "I'm gonna wash this worm one more time and then I'm gonna quit fishin'". We could learn a lesson from little kids---they know when to give up.
