It’s the Weather
He said, “You know, some of those little fish-shaped snack crackers would be nice.”
She reached over and grabbed the package sitting in the middle of the dining room table — where they’d left it after lunch yesterday. She opened the package and discovered, much to her surprise, that there were very few fish left. She poured half of the remaining crackers in a snack bowl and handed it to him, then stood staring into the sack.
He said, “What’s the matter?”
She answered, “I am just trying to figure out how it is I got one little handful of these crackers yesterday, and I am only having one little handful today, yet they are all gone.”
He looked innocent and shrugged.
“Did they swim away?” She queried.
He answered enthusiastically, “Yeah, something like that. It’s the humidity you know. They could survive in this air.”
She’s so not believing that.

Maybe you should have put them in a goldfish bowl? 😉

Cherie — at least then I could have kept an eye on them!
I don’t know, love, how you can doubt that the goldfish could thrive in this heavy, wet air. The silverfish do just fine …

Amoeba — somehow I don’t think the silverfish are swimming toward your mouth ….
silver or gold
neither have a chance
around your house…
Nancy, very true — and MAry’s little lamb is roasting in the oven and soon to be placed upon our table. Yum!
It’s absolutely miserable here. Why couldn’t I swim away with them 🙂

Thom — I so agree! If it weren’t for the ceiling fan I would probably be a much bigger puddle of goo then I currently am! Why don’t you put a pool in your backyard?
We don’t have this problem to find valuable excuses. Here, everything strange was done by a cat ! and we have 5 ….

Oh Gattina, that is so funny! “The cat did it!” LOL!
LOL Ah …love … What a pair you are.
(Those crackers are chatting with the “lonesome lost sock” aka “the dryer ate them” club.)

Lynne — we returned home from vacation and did the laundry, only then to discover that one of my favorite socks stayed behind in Friday Harbor. Maybe the fish have swum to get it for me.
Sounds like a feeble excuse.
Just catching up on a lazy weekend for me. I Tweet all the time but have never yet told anyone where I am or what I’m doing. Twitter has so many other possibilities. And what’s this about a naked man called Tony? 🙂
.-= Anthony North´s last blog ..B IS FOR BULLYING =-.
Tony — clean your glasses. The naked man was named, Sal. I’m sure of it.
I guess he’s like a heron – devouring them all with delight 😉

Hmmm, is that what you call it?
Quilly – I so love those goldfish crackers and often wondered why they don’t come in a larger bag?? They simply do not last long in this household with 2 kids!
I need to catch up on reading your blog. I just got into the naked story, but was unable to finsih. I will be back!!
.-= Church Lady´s last blog ..Fun Monday – My Mess =-.
Church Lady — they do. Go to Costco or Sam’s Club — even Wal-Mart, I think, and you can buy them in a big square box. We used to get them for our Kindergarten classroom – -which is how I got hooked on them!
I don’t really see how you could DOUBT him Quilly… fish gotta swim!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Macro Monday… and Finish This… =-.
Yes, well, how came they all swam into his mouth and none of them swam into mine?
