polgara_5We took Miss Thing to a nearby zoo when she was 7 months, her favorite part - the aquarium and the penguins. Took her again at 20 months, her favorite part - the aquarium and the penguins. The lady who cuts my hair has a huge fish tank in her salon and Miss Hailey is fascinated the whole time we're there.
So the weather here is doing its weird its warm for a week and then freezing for a week thing it always does instead of an actual spring. Hubby decided to buy some feeder goldfish to put in the two watering troughs for his parents horses, and Miss Thing took a great delight in watching these fish and setting them free.
This morning, as Miss Thing and I were doing our morning ritual of Mickey Mouse watching, hubby starts bringing in one of our old fishtanks. (At one point in time we had three going - 2 ten gallon tanks and one 55 gallon. We still have them but stopped using them years before we moved into this house) Now granted, it was one of the ten gallon ones, but I was like wth? He grinned sheepishly at me and said he figured we'd buy some feeder goldfish for Miss Thing and if any of them died, we'd be out 28 cents.
So we went to Walmart and bought six fish along with some food. All the way home, you hear "Fishies! I got fishies!" Now, she won't let you turn the light off on the tank. "Daddy! Turn light! Fishies!" And was tickled to death when hubby let her feed them before bedtime.
Already, we are down to five fish. One didn't make it through the evening, not that she noticed. I have a bad feeling I'm going to be replacing feeder fish every few weeks. Of course, knowing my luck, one will never die.
