No, we're not adopting Sam and Celia.
No, I'm not having twins. (at least, not that we know of) - just kidding, Hubby!
We have adopted a goldfish. Hubby rescued him from a play he was in.
Ironflower and I discussed names immediately, because we're girly like that. I tried to include Lovebug, but he was too busy at his train table. Anyway, Ironflower declared that, "He's a boy because he's orange." So I asked what boys' names she liked. She looked confused. I tried suggesting some boys' names. After going through her classmates and a few cartoon characters, I threw out the name "Spike". I may have been a little frustrated by then. Anyway, Ironflower felt that Spike was the perfect name for our goldfish. (I shudder to think of what this means for her dating choices as a teenager)
So now we have Spike. And I don't think we'll be involving Ironflower in the choice of NewBaby's name.
Don't panic too much. I named my favorite beta fish Rocky IV. No joke. And I think I was 15 at the time.
ReplyDeleteI've never even watched any of the Rocky movies, and I'm not a fan of Sly. Where that one came from, I can't even guess.
hee hee...I like the name spike...why can I picture a lil fish swimming around with a necklace on with metal spikes..lmao.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new addition to the family.
Wordvixen - I hope Ironflower takes after you, then. :)
ReplyDeletecanadianflake - Do you think they make necklaces for fish? That would be awesome.
Spike? And, never let a kid name a baby. My brother went to school with an honest-to-God GUMBY. Not a nickname. Just think if he'd been a twin!
ReplyDeleteI think it is perfect.
ReplyDeletehey there, just wanted to stop in and let you know that I gave you a shout out on my blog today and linked back to your blog. Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSpike isn't so bad! My cousin's first dog was named Oatmeal. I think Spike is alright.
ReplyDeleteSpike is a fantastic name for a goldfish.
ReplyDeleteI like the name :) Way better than the name I gave my pet beta fish years ago . I named him -Sushi.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some fish if they would promise to stay alive for longer than three days. ;)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Spike!
