OK...we all know the goldfish in the room story. Here's an update. Husband went to the hospital a few weeks ago and on the way home he went to......(drum roll....) WAL-MART! He purchased 2 sucker fish and a tiny catfish that literally swims upside down. Honest...look it up on Google. Have I already told you this story?? Huh?? Well...even if I have, this is a serious update.
Fish are swimming...eating....growing....pretty much enjoying life. Husband feeds them at night and couldn't see one of the sucker fish. In the morning (as I had been in a deep sleep no doubt dreaming of candy whilst he was tending the herd) he asked if I could see both sucker fish. I looked and looked and I found them both. OK...says he.
I came home that evening and could only see one. The biggest one. When Husband got home, I told him this and we both searched the fish tank. It's not that big. Believe me...you should be able to see the fish. He didn't jump out. He wasn't sucked into the filter tube. He wasn't under any of the rocks....no sucker fish. Ba! Gone! Vanished in thin.....water.
A few days have passed. Husband said...hmmmmm....I'm going to look again.
"Hey! come 'ere! Look at that thing by the green plant in there...is that a fish spine??" A what!!
"Seriously...I think it's a spine...!!"
(Gross!) I look. "Well.......it sure looks like a fish spine..." I said.
"I think that's the remains of the sucker" he exclaims.
"Appears to be." I concur. Yuck. I quit staring at it. The other sucker better watch his shit.
Fast forward time till tonight. Husband wants a snack. He gets a package of Saltines and a tin of Sardines in Mustard Sauce. Hmmmmm....I like them, too. I'll eat one.
He chows down and then gives me the last one. I start cutting it up to mix it in with the mustard sauce and when it pulls apart.....there it is.....a spine. I closed my eyes.
'Nough said.
