In true Nicky fashion he got into some more mischief. He woke up and without waking me up or even making a peep, he went in to the living room. Now, apparently the fish must have looked hungry. Certainly, we can all tell that fish look hungry right? So he dumped about a half of a container full of food into the aquarium. That should be enough right? Then for some reason unknown he thought they needed some lotion… yes, lotion. I don’t know, I honestly have no idea where that thought process went. Then because the tank was dirty he got out the bucket that I put them in and started to catch the fish… the only problem being that there was about an inch of water in the bucket. This is where I heard something and went to check things out. The one angelfish was swimming on it’s side. I was at a lost for words except for him to go to his room. I took all the fish out, extensively cleaned it and then put them back in. Now, the funny part is that we had two snails that hadn’t moved in over a week. All of a sudden they are moving now and motoring around the aquarium now. The shark (Bruce) now doesn’t chase the angelfish (Moe and Curly as Larry died a while back now). Which leads to the thought process that a little lotion will help your fish or either the near death experience will.
And, by the way, Nicky can now tell you that Mommy is the only one to feed or clean out the fish aquarium…
