Conversation in my Boat

Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses.

Boating interview, while boating

Me: Is that a fish?

G: Maybe

Me: I think the seaweed makes the lure look more realistic, don’t you think?

G, pulling seaweed off the lure: No, fish aren’t covered in seaweed

Me, to myself in my head: How is that neon yellow rubber fish lure fooling any real fish?

Me: Why are you standing up?

G: I’m watching for rocks

Me: Oh. Do you see any?

G: No

Me: What’s that road over there?

G: Don’t know. I’ve never been here before.

Me: Are you cold?

G: Not really. I can’t believe you didn’t wear shoes

Me, in my head: It’s been warm, I don’t know what shoes to wear in a boat, yet.

G: What time is it?

Me 7:30

G: I don’t see a waterfall. I’m turning back

Me: What neighborhood is that?

G: Not sure. Let’s go out again in the morning. There aren’t any fish.

Me: OK
