I never thought I would see the day when an animal lived inside my house, but it has happened. Daddy very sneakily "won" Nora a fish at recent traveling carnival. "Oh just let her play this ping-pong-throwing game," he said, without telling me the prize was an animal. The next thing I knew we were at the store buying a bowl and fish food. As we walked away, Branden said, "I'm surprised you're letting us come home with a fish." In my stunned daze, I said,"It all just happened so fast!" :)
Needless to say, Nora was immediately in heaven. She promptly named him "Tushy" and don't ask me why (other than that she is very solidly stuck in Freud's Anal stage.) She has been so glad to have someone to "keep her company" at night and reminded us today that his (her?) water needed to be changed. The night we got the little guy we tried to warn Nora that fish don't live a long time. So in her evening prayers she prayed that God would let him stick around longer than a few days.Well, we'll just have to see...
