Last week my family was living it up on Michigan’s west coast. We swam in Lake Michigan, went horse back riding, kayaking, and had a blast on a sand dune ride.
We also stepped out to a local fish boil. What’s a fish boil? you ask. Picture a whole town sitting around eating huge chunks of salmon boiled by a half dozen Great Lakes fisherman. And they served potatoes, onions, and butter as side dishes. Mmm!
My husband took the following picture of me and my son at the fish boil, unbeknownst to me. (So flattering, honey, thanks!) As you can tell, I’m chatting with a local. He seems really thrilled to be talking to be, no?
I thought it would be fun if YOU provide a caption for this picture. Please leave your best work in the comments below. I’ll pick the caption that makes me laugh the hardest and announce the winner on Facebook and Twitter.
So what are you waiting for? Let me have it!

I think the local is thinking “Hey! Where’s MY plate?”

I LOVE fish boils!
My first thought was, “Tell this child to quit touching me.” lol
Knowing it’s your son makes it kind of not nice, but funny!

Yes, knowing it’s my son who has personal space issues makes it funny!

Your son seems to be thinking, “This is some really juicy gossip I’m overhearing!”

Just so you know I don’t mean you’re boring, in fact I love your blog and I would listen to you talk all day. Its just that he seems to be drifting from the conversation.

It’s all good!! I totally get what you’re saying–it’s one of the reasons I thought the picture was funny because he looks like a sweet old man who is *trying* to listen to me. Poor guy!
