Nora got a fish for her birthday. We talked about it for weeks ahead of time to get her excited. If you asked her what she was getting for her Birthday she said 'dirday daddy fish'. You see, Rich was going to take her to get the fish.
The big day came to go get her fish. We went to the local pet store instead of a big box chain. (save the home owned stores in a bad economy) Nora kept saying 'MY FISH!'
Sadly, sadly, sadly.....they were out of Beta fish.
As Nora put it 'Missing the fish mommy, me sad'
Mommy and Daddy promised to get her a fish as soon as possible and we went home to set up the tank. To explain to Nora we called it a fish house, this seemed to be a suitable explanation.
The fish arrived home on her Birthday as promised and he loved his new tank. I kept asking Nora what the fish's name was.
First, she told me his name was Brown. (HMMMm.)
Then I asked her if fish's name was dolphin.
Nora: " No mommy, fish name Foofa!"
Well ok then. Can't believe she actually came up with a name all on her own. Foofa is actually a character on Yo Gabba Gabba, but it's not a cartoon we let her watch. This makes the name choice even more curious to us.
Nora has become very involved with Foofa, she feeds him, tells him morning, has conversations with him, there's definitely an attachment.
This is where the evil kitty comes in.
It seems that the kitty, Phoebe, gets too close to Foofa at times. Nora screetches 'NOOOOO FIFI!!! MY FOOFA!!!!" (Loki, the oldest cat could care less about Foofa)
Not to worry, we thought ahead and got a tank with lid.
Foofa is safe.
