Mother,
Daddy killed something today,
And it didn't deserve to die.

Mommy,
Daddy killed a fsh today
When I caught it with my line.

Daddy,
Why'd you kill that fish today
As it stared me in the eye?

Father,
What happens when we die?
Do we join the fish and fly?

Fishy,
I'm sorry that I caught you.
I didn't understand.
Now I know what death is.
It happened when you feel on land
And daddy took you in his hand
But couldn't get the hook out, and
Then you went and died.
Based on true events, written right after it happened.

We were fishing up at our property, my mother, father, and me. Not to eat the fish of course, I don't eat watery-food and my mom is a vegan. We were trying to move the fish from our small pond to our lake that we just built. And, believe it or not, it was my first time to go fishing.

The last time my parents took me fishing I was seven and managed to set all the fish free when they had been strung on their hooks. Some managed to escape, and some were already dead. That being said, none of my large family likes to take me fishing anymore.

Anyways, at our property we were fishing at exactly the right time, so fish were bitting like crazy. I caught this massive one that didn't fit in our little pail so we wrapped him in a plastic bag. Then after awhile, the last fish of the day was just a little baby one... and this is the fish that conked.

Idiot thing swallowed the hook before biting it. So when my dad pulled the hook out...

out came its stomach.

Well, the first thing out of my mouth was "OMFG. FISHY!" Except I really didn't say the acronym version
And the lesson of this slightly random story?
Chew your food before you swallow =D
