Howard is a serial killer fish!
(If you didn't remember we bought fish Mother's Day weekend.)
I don't know what kind of fish Howard is but, we now call him Jaws. Howard killed Albert. Howard killed Nemo #2. And we suspect Howard forced Nemo #1 to commit suicide by jumping from the bowl to the strainer in the kitchen sink drain. I think he kept whispering to Nemo #1 "Jump. You know you want to. Just jump before I peck you to death." Much like Hannibal Lecter convinced Mulitple Miggs in the next cell to swallow his own tongue.
After Howard killed Nemo #2, Jeremy and I noticed he was following Albert around the bowl charging at him and nipping him. The next morning, Albert was on his side, floating lifelessly amongst the plants. He was gone. We suspect Nemo #2 met a similar fate. We found him behind the castle.
Jacob asks what happened to his fish, then answers himself, "Daddy frowed him in the darbage!" We also had to educate Daddy on the proper etiquette for fish funerals. "Daddy, dead fishies get flushed. We do not throw them in the garbage!"
I took a swig of coffee right as I was reading the title to this post. Bad idea. I was this close to having coffee all over my keyboard! :)
ReplyDeletePoor Nemo #1, Nemo #2, and Albert. Howard, you are a naughty fish! To time-out with you!
I once had a frog that killed all his fishmates. That damn thing looked so innocent too....
Love the fish funeral etiquette :)
I could never get my fish to flush they always seemed to keep coming back up. We have swimmy he is a fish that nicole won at the fair, and I wish he would die. But because he's ugly and I hate him he will live forever. Jake is a hoot. Love it
