No, I don't mean cute things I call my kids, I mean the names the kids give their pets. Did I mention the menagerie? We are allergic to cats (alas), but not to catfish. We are also allergic to dogs, but I draw the line at dogfish. We currently have 17 live (non robotic) pets: 8 fish, 5 finches, 2 gerbils and 2 hermit crabs.
My favorite name is Leena's name for her frog. The frog is not alive, strictly speaking. It is a life sized bullfrog aerator. In other words, it sits in her fish tank and belches bubbles at intervals. Since he shares a tank with Princess (a very pretty male Betta) and Love (a catfish with spots and stripes), I thought he should be called "the Frog Prince." "No!" Leena protested, "His name is Mr. Juicy Frog!"
You know, maybe it's the children's peculiar names that make your blog so challenging to read. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, that is very cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's up with all the formal titles-- MR.?
ReplyDeleteTo our kids, everything is Mr. X or Mr. Y...
Yeah, the Mr. thing is strange. Example: Mr. Tum Tum doesn't feel too good. (Translation: I will now make the library janitor unhappy. Alternate translation: He wasn't faking just so he could have a movie day.)
