A Tale of Two Fish (and a Yabbie named Fred)

Well what a drama!

The Boys went to a garage sale and came home with a fish tank (and a tent and other bits and pieces - but thats another story). Jason has wanted a tank to put Yabbies in for a while now - Cam and Josh desperately want fish.

So Jason puts a yabbie net in the channel and catches Fred, Jason and Cam then go to the pet store and buy two fish. Cam named his Goldy and Josh didn't like the other so I inherited Spotty (who I wanted to call Tiger but wasn't allowed "he is a FISH Mum not a TIGER!"). Josh then went and bought Swimmy.

All seemed OK until Jason went out to the shed this morning to find Fred had had a midnight snack :o Yep - no more Goldy or Swimmy! LOL.

Needless to say the Boys were very unimpressed and "naughty stupid Fred" was soon returned to the channel (mind you Jason had caught 4 more yabbies by now but could not convince the Boys to keep them!).

Well a new Goldy and Swimmy are now making themselves at home and peace has returned to Beelbangera!

Hi Jo,
I can just imagine the trouble at your house when the boys realised that Fred had had a fish dinner!!
I was reading your blog and came across where you were late for your sons assembly - it is hard to juggle so many things isnt it!
Loved browsing your blog,

The story gets even better when you get to see the faces on Cam & Josh as they tell it. Very hard to keep a straight face!!!
