Fishing with my sister
Just about every eight or nine-year-old boy likes to go fishing, and I was no exception. My dad fished quite a bit, and I often went along with him. My two sisters, who were in high school, didn’t care a whit about fishing. In fact they both thought it was pretty yucky. Then one day, from out of the blue, my sister, Maryann, offered to take me fishing the next day. In fact, she would drive me to one of my favorite fishing holes. This was really odd I thought. She didn’t even know how to fish.
