As Bill Cosby would say, I told you the previous story to tell you this story.
Several years ago when my girls were about five and seven, Heather and I took them hiking at Ha Ha Tonka state park in Camdenton, Missouri. After we had hiked from the castle all the way down past the spring to the island, Heather stayed back to rest while I took the girls hiking around the island.
As we rounded the last leg of the trail, we came upon a dead bass on the shore, probably about six or seven pounds. It was really bloated, and I couldn’t help think back to Wilxn’s story.
While I stood there mentally noting the difference between boys and girls, my seven year old asked me:
“Can we poke it with a stick?”
