Kids Say the Darndest Things, Pt. 7

Last Thursday, we went fishing at a private pond for our weekly 5/8 Summer Program field trip. In our group of ten, five of the boys had never fished before and others were not very experienced. Our host, E.N., showed some of them that the best way to hold onto (certain) fish is to put your thumb in their mouths just past their teeth and pinch. When Devin caught an 11.75-inch bass and was unsure how to grab it, I yelled from a distance, "Stick your thumb in it's mouth!" K'Jawn, who was near me, said, "Eww! He has to stick his tongue in it's mouth?"
