Or, just maybe, he is high maintenance. I have been falsely accused of that before. Being high maintenance, not special.I feel there is not shame in such an accusation. Anyway, Shiny Tail Lazorchak is a lovely Beta Fish. Hayden and I have been trying to teach him tricks. While you can't snuggle up wih a fish, they are not as cold as their reputation would lead you to believe. Shiny Tail can't stay home alone while we are gone for Hayden's surgery. The dilemna of where he should go and when has been our latest challenge. He has had many offers, but we have decided to take him with us to Casa Silverman. I told my mom we'd bring him on our way to the pre-op appointment. The conversation went something like this:
Me: We are dropping the fish off on the way to pre-op.
Mom: Just run him in, Daddy and I will feed him.
Me: It isn't that easy. He needs special water, the PH needs to be checked, chemicals need to be added and then he can go in.
Mom: Oh, you can do that. We can't do that. I think we will put him in the center of the dining room table, under the light, he will look nice there.
Me: ( Look nice there??? Like a centerpiece????)Doesn't that light raise the temperature of the room 5 degrees when you turn it on? I think that might kill him.
Mom: Jesus Christ, Allison, only you would have a fish like this!
Me( in my head): Didn't you " accidentally" kill Marvin Gaye(Kevin's fish) in a tragic garbage disposal incident? Hmmm...perhaps my high maintenance fish will have a better chance of survival if he stays elsewhere.

Grammy Janet did not kill Marvin Gaye. Pop was changing the water in Marvin Gaye's bowl when he slipped out of his hands and went down the garbage disposal. Grammy and Pop tried to save him but couldn't. Grammy had no choice but to flip the switch. Poor Kevin was in Hebrew school when this happened.
Don't forget who saved all the baby Molly fish!!!!!!
You are too funny! Tell Hayden that I said he can bring Shiny Tail to Hopkins :)
Your sense of humor always makes me laugh!
That is why I have a bright future in writing;-)
