when the kids were young we took them fishing pretty often. i had to teach my dh how since he grew up in brooklyn, ny and had never learned--not even in scouts. after josh 'caught' danny by the eyebrow. dan no longer wanted to be the fish and i think developed an empathy for them. josh continues to fish, and our daughter's early goal was to be big enough to fish, too. she's a very girly girl but has hunt wild pigs and will try anything once.
