Ariel and Hot Rod

Who? What?


A couple of weeks ago my sweet Grandma bought a fish for each of the kids. Zoe's is pink (of course) and Austin's is red( again, of course). One is named Ariel, the other, Hot Rod. I'll give you just ONE guess which one is which. The kids named them all by themselves, feed them all by themselves, and "ooh and ahh" over them daily!
Oh my gosh I almost forgot to tell you the scariest part. When I was transferring the fish into their tank, Ariel decided she was going to flop right out of the water, and onto the floor. She was quite literally a "fish out of water". She was flopping around for like a minute because I couldn't pick her up! She was all slimy, and wet, and just freaked out any time I tried to grab her. I don't know how, but I somehow got her into the tank. I am suprised she didn't die. She was out of water so long. But that was really freaky. And the kids were watching the whole thing! Can you imagine how traumatized Zoe would have been if Ariel had died right in front of her?

Well, at least it fell on the floor and not down the drain (the one with the garbage disposal). Yes, that's right, it happened- you can guess it's fate. :(

We need to replace our fish~ he died while we were out of town after my brother cleaned the tank, but the boys haven't asked where he is yet...
