A couple of days ago, I told Mrs. BFA, that I was going to head out after work on Thursday to go check out a new spot.
(By told, I mean that I begged)
When she asked what I was fishing for, I quickly answered, "carp."
Now, before I continue....
Have you ever heard a question so seemingly outrageous to you that you were practically speechless after hearing it? You know, one of those questions that hits you like a punch to the gut from Tyson? I'd imagine the first time a child sees their parents trying to make another baby and asks, "What are you guys doing?" would be a great example.
What the heck do you say?! How do you respond to that?!
Well....
uhmm.....
you see....
what had happened....
Well, that's pretty much what I sounded like when her follow up question to my previous answer of "carp" came.
"What's with you and carp, lately?" she asks
After stammering for a minute or so and being completely rendered speechless, I finally came up with an answer
"You just need to catch one"
and a mission
The wife needs to catch a carp
Good post! I agree.
