Flip Flapping Fish in the Back Seat


Sunday my friend Michele had an Elmo theme for her sons first birthday party.


As a gift the kids got Gold Fish (yes live gold fish) in bowls to take home.


Well we covered the bowls with saran wrap and were on our way home. Dylan was nodding off and Marissa & I were trying to keep him awake, but in a lull in our driving/talking/singing he either nodded off and tilted the fish bowl or pulled off the saran wrap but all of a sudden half the water was gone and there was a fish flip flopping around the back seat of my van.


I pulled over and asked Marissa to grab it but she was squeamish (this is a girl who picks worms out of dirt and makes homes for bugs) so I had to go back there and get the fish back in the bowl. I couldn't get the saran wrap back on the bowl, but I found one of the balls from Dylan's Wiffle Bat set and put it on top and drove the rest of the way home.


So we have an addition of 2 goldfish to our family now. No names yet...although we've been batting around Dorothy 1 and Dorothy 2 (after all they were from an ELMO party), Maura & Reagan (after twins that Marissa knows), Nemo & Dory....
