RIP Fishy and Fishy-Fishy
So...Last week my mom and I took Raegan and Elena to the County Fair. Of course the girls rode rides and ate lots of fair food, but they also played a game or two. I useually always play the goldfish game...where u toss ping-pong balls and try to get them into the little cups. Two years ago we won a fish. Raegans first BTW. Last year...nothing. This year though....both girls won 2 fish each! 4 fish!! OMG. I was kinda flipping out cause Mike and I have already had the family pet convo and I didn't know if he'd let them stay or not. But whatever. So we got home, gave them a nice home and named them all....Fish, Fishy-Fishy, Harry Potter, and Dobby. Can you guess who named who. lol. So anyway. That was on Thursday. This morning I am awoken to screams and tears and crying galore. Raegan and Elena have descovered every childs worst nightmare......One of the fish had died! After consoleing the girls and tryig to give it a "Proper" burial at "Sea", they informed me that his name was Fishy. No big deal. It's done it's over....they'll move on with their day. NOPE! No chance. Off an on all day I was reminded of "Fishy's" pasage and just HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW much they missed him. By the time the girls were ready to go to bed they had both said good night to the fish and Mike...AND to "Fishy" who was now in Fish-Heaven. I hate to say it but I was kind of glad that they went to bed. I'm not sure I could have handled anymore....that was...untill we had another fish accident.
I knew the bowl needed cleaning, so I began to put the fish into a smaller bowl to clean the larger one. Well....the first fish I tried to get out decided to jump ship and wiggled right out of my hand, bounced on the counter and flew up into the air.....and came right down into the sink hole that leads directly to the garbage disposal.........................................
My gasp of sock grabbed Mikes attention and it was all I could do not to laugh and cry at the same time. At first I didn't know what to do. I thought about turning off the water that was currently running, then I thought of turning on the disposal....but I just COULDN"T do it. I whined a little to Mike about just killing another fish and begged him to reach his hand down the drain to get it. Of course he wouldn't....so what did I do........
I called my Mother!
lol
All she could do was laugh. And yes the entire situation is laughable. But I still felt bad. 10 min had past and I was hopefully that the little guy had same down the pipes to freedom. Boy was I hopefull. Specially when Mike finally came over and turned on the disposal.
I HOPE HOPE HOPE he wasn't still there. Oh that poor fish.
So tomorrow i'm gong to PRAY the girls don't notice that another fish is missing.
I'll just have to wait and see.
So.....RIP Fishy and Fishy-Fishy
