DEAD TED LIVES...
in my mother's fish tank! Bwa-ha-HA.
The tank's previous occupant was named Dead Fred because he was a fish in a houseful of cats. He lived a long and happy life...if you call receiving regular dinner invitations from the cats a happy life. When Dead Fred finally was dead of natural causes, Mom decided to get another fish for the tank.
Here's the catch.
I got to pick the name.
Mom thought Dead Ted had a better ring to it than Not-Dead Ted, unfortunately, but at least for now, Ted lives!
