“Icky”
That is the word that DG used to describe his fishing hobby.
“It’s icky”, he said.
He is no longer interested in fishing.
So he is on the prowl to find a different hobby.
“How about tatting?”, I said. “There is nothing icky about tatting.”
Well OK then. Maybe tatting isn’t it.
Keep looking.
DG was not happy when I reminded him that he needs to clean his fish. It needs to be scaled and gutted and skinned….
The fact that he has procrastinated for a few days doesn’t help.
It could be that he is rethinking his choice of hobby.
DG caught a fish.
Wow! I’ve seen bait bigger than that!
Oops. Hey. Nice fish. How big was the one that got away?
“Spring has sprung, da grass is growin’
I wonder who will do da mowin’
Listen to dem boidies sing! Da little boids is on da wing.
No, wait a minute, dats absoid. Da little wings is on da boid.”
Spring has arrived, and it is time to grab our tools and get busy with the yard work.
So I rousted DG out of his nap and set him to work.
Um. No. That’s not what I had in mind.
No, DG, we have work to do.
OK. Uncle.
Now that DG’s antlers are gone, he is still complaining about side effects.
He is worried that his second Covid shot has not given him proper immunity.
DG: “That needle was awful small. What if there wasn’t enough vaccine in it?”
Me: “Don’t worry about it.”
DG: “But shouldn’t I at least have a sore arm?”
Me: “Well, I can fix that with this rubber band.”
Howzat?
OH NO! DG got side effects from his second Covid shot!
DG is NOT amused.
OK. OK. Don’t get all bent out of shape. I’ll erase ’em.
Sheesh….. no sense of humor.
I finally tracked down DG and offered him the second Covid shot.
He wasn’t having anything to do with it.
“Well”, I said, “what if I drew the needle a bit smaller?”
“Still not convinced? How about this one?”
“I can only go down so far, you know. My pen is too thick to get a good drawing of it”.
We finally came to an agreement.
“Don’t get cocky, DG”, I said. “I can still draw you with a sore arm”.
It has been a few weeks since DG got his first Covid shot, so he is due for his second one.
I drew another needle and went looking for him.
Hmmm. He seems to have run off.
If you see him, let him know that I was looking for him.
