I’m sat reading. A stolen moment while Miss M plays with her ponies at my feet and Miss E is at her friend’s house.
I feel, rather than notice her stare, and look up to be met by slightly glazed eyes that are looking through me rather than at me.
Then she speaks.
Miss M: “Mummy, it’s hard being a fish.”
I nod, expecting some kind of elaboration, but she just walks away.
I love that kid.

Heh heh, Miss M is often either a dog or a cat. It’s funny till you fall over them.

it ís hard being a fish. Darn funny just walking away.., the easy thing is you don’t have to come up with something really smart about how it’s not all that bad haha.

Very true lovely Arjan. Maybe it is hard being a fish? It’s probably harder being a donkey though.

I cannot wait to see the MANY things that girl will become some day. That creative mind of hers is going to do great things.

Awww Kim I hope so. As long as she’s happy I don’t really mind though.

I hadn’t thought of that before but it IS hard being a fish. Pity I love eating them, which only compounds the toughness of their lives.

OMG Dumdad, have you thought, to fish you would be considered EEEEVIL. I’m almost scared of you now. Almost. ;D
