It's probably been almost two years since we bought any fish. When Carolyn was working evenings, late 2005 early 2006, the kids and I had a routine of feeding the fish right before bed, sitting in the dark watching the fish eat their food.
I took John and Emmalee to the pet store on Saturday and they each picked out a fish. Emmalee picked a fancy guppy with a leopard-spotted tail, and John picked a black molly.
Before we got home Emmalee had fallen in love with her fish, and named it "Bella".
John's fish has a temporary working title of "So-Duh", which is like "Soda" only with the emphasis on the second syllable. It's from a computer game they've been playing.
I found this crayon drawing by Emmalee, which shows the hexagonal fish tank, Emmalee watching her fish, and John's fish looking away.
