One toilet funeral, coming right up

It’s like a piscean Survivor over here in our living room. Or maybe Real World: FishTank. Six strangers, picked to live in an aquarium.

Only Yellow and the never-named white one are still on set. Frankie, Suzy, Red, Nemo and Uncle Ryan have all packed their bags and bid tearful goodbyes. No more hot-tubbin’ or algae-flingin’ for them.

I’m just glad it isn’t Aquarium Idol. Then the little bug-eyed fish would be squeaking, cursing, and threatening to come back, and that would be gross. Even grosser than trying to explain to a three-year-old why his aquatic pet is kind of … stuck in the filter intake valve. And never coming back.

Better fishies in the toilet than chickens in the backyard. Especially chickies torn apart by dogs, hawks, foxes, etc… though actually my kids were better about it than I was.

Anyway. I’m tagging you for a 5 things meme, like you don’t have enough else to do!

We’ve had problems with fish, too! What is up with fish? We had a strong one, but when we bought two new ones to replace the other dead one, they all got sick and died. We think we’re done with fish for a while.

@YNL ack! chickies torn apart. That’s terrible. (Off to see the meme!)

@elizabeth I think I’m done with fish for a while, too. they’re just too high on the gross charts for me.
