A couple of years ago a friend and I took his daughter and my granddaughter to a neighboring pond to get some big bluegill for a fish fry.

The girls were both seven years old, and both said they could count. We had a 5-gallon bucket, and we told them we needed 15 bluegill. They were in charge of counting.

My friend and I were busy keeping their hooks baited, unsnarled, etc.

We got back to my house, and I started filleting the bluegill. The 15 fish in the bucket somehow turned into 38 bluegill.

Oh well -- parents, grandparents, and brothers/sisters did not go home hungry. And, the girls had a blast before they got bored of catching at least 38 fish.
