Speaking of Animals

Our neighbors above us wanted to get rid of their beta fish, so we gladly accepted to inherit it. We upgraded the tank a bit and Kael and Derek came up with this! It lights up and is so awesome! The little blue guy is in the bottom right corner. Kael has been talking non-stop about his fish. His name you ask? Fishy the fish... Kael came up with it. We are still trying to teach him about naming animals and things, and he just doesn't really get it. He was so excited to help Dad put together the tank and put the rocks and plants in and go to the store with Dad to get stuff for his fish. The only problem we have had is that coming home from Petco, Kael saw

lots of other fish there. He decided that Fishy needed a friend. Well anyone who knows fish know that beta fish like to eat any other fish in a tank with them. Try explaining this to our Kael who loves everyone and everyone is his friend. He started bawling in the car in hysterics because his fishy is a nice fishy to his friends and he is NOT a stinker fish. Our explanation didn't go so well trying to say that his fish is a mean, not nice fish.... We totally bombed that one. We ended up saying something along the lines that Fishy is a nice and good fish, and tried to distract from needing another fish after the melt down... I have to admit I did laugh quite a bit after his melt down that his fish is a nice fish. "I should mention our Fishy fish already killed another fish it lived with, so in fact he is NOT a nice fish..." Ya, we won't tell Kael this little bit of info.

So without further ado, welcome Fishy Fish to the Bradley Family!
