Fishy

 (Tate, Syd and Em trying to pull fish face.)

We have pets. Yes, this did happen while Trent was in Utah last week...coincidence? My friend did a mermaid party for her little girl and gave away goldfish as a party favor. I did not think that they would last more than a day but these fish are pretty durable. So far they have digested popcorn (and who knows what else) been manhandled from Emmy, AND escaped from there temporary fish home twice. I did not realize how much I loved them until I came in and one was missing from the tank. Judging from the look in its glazed over fish eye, I imagine it was hanging out on the counter for some time, luckily I was able to revive him. I know it is only a few pesos to get a new one but I am a loyal fish master. In fact, we went from using a salad bowl to investing in a full on fish tank, oxygen and all, even added a couple of blue angel fish for some friends. I swear these fish are in love with me, I think it is because I disregard the whole rule about only feeding them twice a day. My helper keeps telling me "Mam, I think your fish are getting too big" (I am a sucker for their little open mouths). "Mam there just breathing". What ever. Maybe she is right, they kind of look like they need to be in a small pond now.
