No Boat!


I kept packing and unpacking my tackle box to the point of almost screaming. My wife walked in and looked at me sitting in the middle of the living room floor surrounded in baits scattered everywhere. She looked at me and shook her head and smiled. "What is your favorite worm?" she asked. I reached out and picked up my favorite power baits and handed them to her. She took the package and placed it into my tackle box. Then she told me to give her my next two favorite worms. We repeated the process. She stood there looking down at me and said, "Now, put the rest of your worms away so you can't change your mind, and do the same thing with the rest of your baits." I was finished with my tackle box in less than 10 minutes, and you know I had everything in it the next day that I really needed.

When I came home from a very fruitful fishing trip the next day I asked her why she helped me the night before (keeping in mind she isn't that much into bass fishing, and fishing lures). She looked into my eyes lovingly and touched my cheek with her soft hand and said, "I had to do something or I would have never gotten my living room back" she kissed me and walked away.

GOOD FISHING and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
