A Fish Called Wanda

Today my youngest son took his brother's fish out of the fink tank. Cute little Burgundy beta fish. Any way, his brother yelled nooooooooo and Jordy threw the poor fish behind my big rolltop desk. Lots of yelling and crying ensued, I go running in asking what the heck is going on.. so I get the tale of the poor little flying fish.. Gives new meaning to Ice Age's pack of flying fish!!!

So crawling around on the floor looking for the little fish, looking around, behind under everything.. No fish! Where did the fish go??? More searching, still no fish! What the heck its not like it can just disappear right? Well maybe it can! Finally I give up. I'll have to tear the room apart and find the dead little fish later. No way after 1/2 hour it would survive. Right?? Right??

So how long can a fish live out of water? A long freakin' time that's how long!!! Not more than 5 min's after giving up finding the fish alive more screaming.. The fish has flopped its way out of hiding and is laying right there on the floor!! Damn !! My oldest son hysterical, great! I'm looking at the fish, its not moving! What the heck do I do?

Damian is yelling 'Mommy save my fish, save it'. I am standing there looking from this damn fish to my son, What the heck do I do to save a fish?? Then 'Mommy your a paramedic save it, don't let it die'. Great! Now I feel guilty, no toilet bowl for this little fish! So I scoop it up while my son yells something about CPR, how do you give a fish CPR!! So get the fish back in the tank and try to revive it.. Damn I must be good, the flippin fish is still alive!! Though I don't expect it to live. I'll say a little prayer for a fish called wanda!!
