The Masonism Returns

Ok - so those of you who know what a Masonism is need no introduction, but if you do not let me fill you in. A Masonism is one of those wonderfully quirky things my son either does or says. He is totally unique and hilarious in his thought processes.

Yesterday, he made his father's day because he went fishing with him for 3 hours. And he had a blast. You would think this was no big deal because, well, boys fish. Not my boy, though. He has never fished more than 10 minutes without complaining and wanting to go home and being hot and being bored and generally ruining what could be a good time with his Dad.

He and Sam got out on the water around 5:00p. Mason was very reluctant to fish. He just kept saying he did not want to. Finally, Sam got him to give the whole reason and here it is . . .

he was afraid he would catch a really big fish and it would pull him off the boat and into the water.

Maintaining his composure, Sam convinced him that the fish in our lake were not that big and Mason proceeded to catch about 20 crappie and have a great time. We ate fish for dinner last night and now he cannot wait to fish again. Sam was grinning from ear to ear because he finally got his son to love something he loves and they can fish together.

Well you have to admit, he has seem pics of himself standing next to catfish that Sam caught that were bigger than him....but I am glad he had a good time and I am sure Sam was thrilled.
