Yesterday Orin decided to go fishing.
Initially, he was fishing for his grandmother's new kitten, Pi,
but when Pi got scared and ran away,
he turned his attention on another potential target: me.
Because I was larger than the kitten, two poles were necessary.
First, he attempted to catch me using a plain, boring lure,
but I didn't go for it.
Next, he tried a really snazzy, colorful lure,
but, alas, no matter how interesting the bait,
I would not bite.
Frustration ensued.
Eventually I was forgiven for my stubbornness,
but only after several laps around the house in the laundry basket.
Ah, the joys of life with children...
