Thanks for sharing this and it was good timing. I just experienced this last night. I got home from work, and then meeting with my financial guy (so my brain was fried) and my 9 yr old was playing his Ipad. I told him to turn off his electronics and go outside. A couple minutes later, just as I sat down at the computer to open up Saddle Hunter, he walked back into the room holding a small aquarium net and said that since we didn't have any night crawlers he wanted me to go down to the creek with him so he could try to catch a fish in his net. I started telling him that there was no way he could catch a fish with a little net like that but, then I thought what the heck am I doing, I just told him to get outside and hear I am sitting down at the computer.
So I get up and we go down to the creek together, he sticks is net under the edge of a rock, flips it over and a small sculpin swims right into the net. He picks it up and excitedly says " I told you could do it". It was the first sclupin he has ever seen and he thought it was the coolest fish. We then had a rock skipping contest for the next 30 minutes until dinner.
I took that fish swimming into his net as someone telling me "get off your but and get outside without hesitation next time".
