5 Little Fish

The thing Emma wanted most for Christmas was a fish tank. Santa Clause brought her a fish tank, complete with rocks and plants. We do not know anything about fish. We filled the tank up with water, squirt in some water conditioner that came with it, hooked up the filter, and left for Wal-Mart with fish on our list. She wanted five goldfish, so the five goldfish all went in one heavy bag together, and they had to be held upright, I couldn't set it down or one of the fish would get squished in the corners. It got heavier and heavier and we still needed groceries. I passed it off to Chucky, and he even held it the whole way home while he drove. When we got home, I thought Emma might explode before we could get the fish in the tank. She feeds them morning and night, and watches their every move from her bed, and even thinks its exciting when they poop. Chucky and I are completely amazed that two weeks later, all five of the 38-cents-each fish are still alive. Their names are: Goldie, Black Spots, Mama Fish, Lucy, and Tree.
