Please, please, please or So you wanted some fish.

Oldest Daughter wanted to have a fish tank in her room and managed to get one for Christmas. How did this happen since Daddy thought it was a bad idea? Just ask grandma and make sure Daddy doesn't find out until the present is unwrapped Christmas morning.

Fact # 1: Water evaporates. If you don't like the sound of the water splashing into the tank from the filter, add more water. OD: Oh!!!!

Solution to the food issue: OD keeps forgetting to buy more fish food. I asked her what she planned to do last night. "I'll just stir up the gravel and they can eat the food that fell down there."

On Pet Stores: OD says, "I don't know why you have to be 18 to buy fish" as she stirs up a cloud of old food and poop to feed her charges.

Tonight for dinner serve her whatever was leftover in the little drain strainer in the kitchen sink.

Those fish don't have teeth, do they? Fingers could be lost...

I can't do that to Princess Oldest Daughter!

No teeth for those fishies!

Santa left fish at our house too... By the way, fish love peas! Thaw them, peal them, cut them up and they actually are healthy for the fish. I swear to you - look it up!
