Keeping my mouth shut

I did a good job of this today. We attended a wedding party tonight for two of our friends. It was a delightful party with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and we had a nice time. The party took place on a family member's beautiful property and the kid all enjoyed lots of room to run and play, and even a chance to fish in the stocked pond. I don't have a problem with fishing. I remember fishing when I was younger and even going home and cleaning (not me personall) and then eating the fish. I'm not even sure I really have a problem with fishing for fun and throwing them back in. I have to admit, however, to being a little sickened when I realized that there really weren't all that many fish in this pond, and the kids were repeatedly fishing the same poor dumb creatures out again and again. I kept my mouth shut, though, and you know what? I think it was a pretty neat experience for Calvin all the same. He at least got to actually touch and look a real live fish before throwing it back so it could take it's turn with another kid on the other side of the pond.
