One Fish Two Fish, Creek Fish, New Fish


AJ: Mom, I got a fish from the creek.


Mom: Put it back it'll die.


AJ: I've had it in a bowl for 3 days; it won't die.


Mom: Well it's gonna die; put the poor thing back




10 months later


AJ: Mom, I gotta 'nother fish.


Mom: From where?


AJ: From Mikey; he got 10 for a dollar.


Mom: Well don't put it in the same bowl as the other fish; they'll fight


AJ: I put them both in the big aquarium (the 10 gallon one in the laundry room that once held ever multiplying gerbils)


Mom: Why'd you put them in there? You have to have a filter in that big aquarium. You can't keep dumping the water out and re-filling it. They'll be dead in 2 days
2 days later

Issac the creek fish and Marvin the goldfish are happily swimming around in a 10 gallon aquarium, that we'd better go get a filter for.
