Yes, there was another mishap at the Mork house this weekend. It all started when Allen took the boys ice fishing on Sunday afternoon. They had a great time! Although ice fishing was new to all of them, they did manage to catch a fish. Allen has always been a "catch and release" kind of guy so he has never actually cleaned a fish at our house in Cambridge. I have always been in favor of this kind of fishing because it meant that I would not have to worry about stinky fish in my kitchen. Selfish, but true.
All of that has changed. The boys assured Allen that they knew how to clean a fish because they had done it (or at least watched it!!) in the Philippines. Naturally, Allen thought this would be a great opportunity to bring their two worlds together so...after carefully demonstrating his surgical skill on a fish, he handed the knife over to Romeo. (You know what's coming, don't you??) According to Allen, things started out beautifully. Romeo was a natural with the knife!! But as Allen turned away to grab something, Rodrigo exclaimed, "Dad! Look! Romeo is bleeding!!!" As you guessed, the knife slipped and Romeo carved a healthy gash in his index finger. It didn't really phase Romeo at the time, but as the night went on, it began to hurt quite a lot. Allen (once again) performed an operation at our kitchen counter. A little novocaine, two stitches and...Romeo was good to go! His biggest worry was whether he could play football today at school.
All of this took place while I was bringing Kristin back to Bethel. (The only pictures of the event were from Allen's cell phone.) I was kind of sad that I missed all the excitement...but then again...I've had a lot of excitement these last few weeks and it was ok to just hear about it. I have a feeling that this is not the last medical emergency for these two boys. I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Dr. Mork saves the day... Again! :)
I always say Allen Mork is a wonderful Doctor, now his boys know this , too! Allen I wish Mom(Ellen) was here to listen to all of your exciting events. She would be thrilled for you all. love Karyn
Never a dull moment with boys...It's just the beginning:)
Tell those boys to slow down! They are going to pass the Robertson boys way to quickly on the injury and accident list. We can have a scar showing party at Christmas. I think I still would come out ahead with about 75 stitches on my face and a few others scattered around my limbs. Sounds like you are keeping busy and having fun. Grant will be excited to hear that you went ice fishing. He has been chomping at the bit to go but has been to scared to go out on the ice. We'll see you all soon.
