What actually gave my boy the idea there were fish monsters in the sewer? Who knows! But one thing I do know is this... Yesterday's adventure of "Sewer Fishing"started out innocently enough - but as you know, news travels fast... After all, when a seven year old is standing in the middle of the street with a stick and some string hanging down into the sewer - people take notice!!!
I mean, what started out as ONE fisherman...quickly turned toTWO
Which ultimately, led to THREE fishermen fishing in the sewer...
Thankfully, nothing was actually caught ~ Only good clean fun! No wet strings (*grose*) and no dirty little wiggly things on the ends of the rope. What I can't believe is that this post is coming from a mother who thrives on Anti-bacteria wipes (in the car, in the purse, next to the hamster cage). Yes, I admit it... I allowed this sewer fishing game to continue throughout the day (as long as the strings stayed dry) - setting an All Time High with the neighborhood kids. No one ever thought about "Sewer Fishing" before (leave it to my kids - figures). Let's just say that it's an All Time High I hope quickly ends soon!
Please share any and all "sewer" moments with me... it will help me feel a little better about letting my kids fish in the middle of the street... I mean, can you imagine if they pulled something up??!!
