Rescind the order to grandson for worm-hook-baiting when he vomits on your bag lunch

Urge your grandson not to mention the “worm affair” to grandma

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/14/2023:  09:01:35

Verify with your grandson the details of your story that the fish brought home were actually caught by the two of you, and urge him not to mention the fact that you stopped at the fish market on the way home (bribe him with a DQ delight if he blackmails you)

DC5 - Posted - 05/15/2023:  06:45:19

Wait patiently for the fish to bite.
