Audrey’s Incredible Chewing Fish
This one falls into the category of causing me to question the meaning of things in my life when things like fish are interesting. But actually there are too many other meaningful things going on in life, so small things provide comic relief.
Ok, so a few weeks ago Audrey got rid of her parakeets. Annie kept eating the parakeet poop and getting sick, so either the birds had to go or the dog. Annie had seniority and edged out the birds.
On Monday Cathy brought home a new pet for Audrey, a beta fish. (Cathy’s Kindergarten class took a field trip to the pet store and each got a fish, including Cathy.) A couple days later Audrey claimed she heard the fish chewing its food.
I didn’t believe it until today. The house was quiet, I’m working from home today, and I dropped one of the fish food pellets in. And I heard the fish crunching on the little pellet. I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t heard it myself.

We fish-sat a beta, and I always heard it chew its food. It was pretty surprising at the beginning.

Makes me want to get a beta again to hear it for myself
We miss you guys.
