This weekend we unexpectedly added a new addition to our family. Zoe was playing one of those carnival games where you throw a ping pong ball into a cup-- and she won. Her prize: a fish. We don't have a fish tank and didn't really want a fish, but how do you say no to a couple of pigtails proudly clutching a plastic bag with a "weel feesh" (real fish) inside??
When we got him (at least I think it's a "him") home and settled in a giant vase, I asked Zoe what she wanted to name the fish. Her first answer to this question is ALWAYS "Emma." But I explained that our dog is named Emma, so we have to choose a different name. Her little brow furrowed as she pondered an alternative. Then she announced, quite resolutely, that the fish is named Bob.
So, meet Bob the fish:

Hi! Longtime lurker and HUGE Zoe fan here. Bob definitely looks like a boy. He's a betta, which is good news, because they're super-easy to care for (goldfish are much harder and so it's awful when they're the "prizes" at games like that). Bettas can live many years if you take care of them! Also, I think "Bob" is an awesome name... good job Zoe!!
