That's Not Funny Friday - Bunnies, Fish and Teeth!

It's been "forever and a coon's age" since I did one of these but my family has been histerical all week. I thought I'd share.

1. I picked Caton up from day care the other day and she was exclaiming that she saw the "Easter Bunny" on a nature walk with her class. We have not encouraged nor discouraged the whole Santa Clause/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy deal with Caton. Part of that is because of Courtney. Later, Caton asked her Dad how you know which bunny is the Easter bunny. We live near woods and see wildlife all the time. He said, "He carries a basket." And then Courtney said, "I shot the Easter bunny." No, she's not bitter.

2. Caton has a fish tank in her room. It's she and her Dad's deal - I do not clean up fish poop. It got disgustingly dirty - like the water was green and you couldn't see through it dirty. Wednesday afternoon, Caton and Courtney got a wild hair and decided to look for the fish who were surely dead in the tank. Surprisingly, they were all still alive and HUGE. So they used a strainer and fished them out of the dirty tank. Todd cleaned the tank up, I got a new filter at the store and they transferred the fish into the sparkling clean tank. Caton was so happy her fish were so big and the tank so clean she could see them. About 30 minutes after bedtime, she started yelling that her favorite fish was swimming sideways. Todd tried to comfort her that he was exploring his new surroundings and told her to go to sleep. To make a long story short, within a couple of hours all the fish were swimming sideways. Caton was hysterical. All her fish died and she had to watch them. Eventually, we turned the tank light off. I thought it was sort of funny they all were stuck to the pump. Anyway, about 30 minutes later, she came upstairs saying she was scared because the light on the tank was off. Todd took her back downstairs, turned the light on the tank on and tucked her back in. It was then that Caton wanted to know if Turantulas could get her. Fish to spiders? I dunno.

3. This morning, both girls had a dental appointment to get their teeth cleaned. Caton loves the dentist. Courtney hates it. When they returned home, I got a full report on both girls. Neither had any cavities. Then Caton says, "I have to brush my teeth every time I eat. The dentist knew I haven't been brushing. I don't know how he knew or who told him, but he knew."

Happy GOOD Friday!
