Four married men decided to spend a day fishing together. As they cast their lines, the conversation naturally turned to the sacrifices they had made to be there.
The first man spoke up, saying, “You guys have no idea what I had to do to make it today. On Saturday, I promised my wife I’d paint the entire house.” The others nodded, sympathizing with the struggle of balancing plans with their spouses.
The second man chimed in, eager to top the first. “That’s nothing,” he said. “I promised my wife I’d build her a new deck by the pool. She’s been wanting it for years, so bringing her fishing was the only way to keep that promise.”
The third man wasn’t about to be outdone. “Both of you had it easy,” he declared. “I told my wife I’d completely remodel the kitchen for her! It’s a huge project, but I couldn’t miss this fishing trip with you guys.”
As the three continued their banter, they turned to the fourth man, who had remained silent. Curiosity got the better of them, and they asked, “So, what did you have to promise to be here?”
With a sly grin, the fourth man finally spoke. “Well,” he said, “I didn’t promise anything. I just set my alarm for 5:30, turned it off when it rang, gave my wife a little nudge, and asked, ‘Fishing or something else?’” Pausing for effect, he added, “She told me, ‘Put on a sweater.’”
The group erupted in laughter at his clever workaround. Sometimes, the simplest approach is the most effective.

Teacher sobs as she quits during school
Laura Morris, a former fifth-grade teacher at Lucketts Elementary School in Leesburg, Virginia, left her position due to her refusal to teach critical race theory (CRT).
During a Loudoun County School Board meeting, Morris emotionally expressed her opposition to the board’s “highly-politicized agendas” and resigned. She criticized the equity training and curriculum changes related to CRT, which explores how racism is embedded in societal structures.
Morris explained, “I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly-politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents – the children.” She shared that her Christian beliefs clashed with the district’s ideologies.
She also raised concerns about her personal life being affected by the school district’s political agenda. Morris received emails cautioning against dissenting opinions even in her personal life.
Frustrated by the lack of consideration for concerned citizens and what she perceived as the district’s bias against certain demographics, Morris chose to resign.
In her passionate speech, Morris encouraged parents and staff to explore alternative educational options.
