FRED

I am just going to tell a funny story I heard today. In my sorority we all get beta fish! Well my friend was given one and at first she was so excited. For some reason though she is actually terrified of fish. Not really the fact of looking at them but just like having to feel them when she changes and cleans the bowl. So obviously she never cleaned him, Fred, she made her room mate do it. The bowl sits on their bathroom counter and yesterday her friend was JUST in her room but then just left, so all of a sudden she was washing her hands and accidentally hit the bowl, it shatters, and the worst thing is, she was all by her self! Fred went flying on the ground with all the broken glass! She started crying because she did not know what to do to. She wanted to pick Fred up but was so scared because she hates touching sliming things like that. I know if she really loved Fred she would have just done it.. But she was selfish huh!? Haha She said she just kept getting water and pouring it on the fish and every time it would kind of jump a little bit! So she called her room mate and she had to drive back up there to pick up Fred and return him safely to his home. Turns out Fred is STILL alive swimming around in one of their cereal bowls!

I'm glad to hear Fred is still alive. I like fish and would want one one day as a pet again. I guess the girl should have picked up the fish and should have done with was actually needed to be done. I enjoyed this story though something bad happened, but everything turned out good. People react differently when accidents happens. They just freak out and do not know what to do.

That story was funny even though I had to walk away right in the middle of it. I am glad you wrote about it so I knew how it ended. The story is even better because I know who this person is. Ha Ha. I think that the best part is when she started throwing water on it to keep it alive. Well have a great day Courtney!

ok so first of all it was my roommate angies fish and shes totally ridiculous because she won't even clean out his damn bowl because shes afraid he'll jump on her or something. i refuse to clean the bowl because its her stupid fish and she needs to grow up and learn how to do it herself. as far as him almost dying, that was just ridiculous. she let him flop around on the floor with no water for 20 minutes until i came back. i got there and i was like are you kidding me? you couldn't even pick him up when he was about to die. so i scooped him up and saved his life for the second time. yes, this has happened before. completely ridiculous!

courtney, i am going to have to admit i laughed out loud on this one! I'm glad he is alive. This kind of reminds me of my friend who is afraid of cotton balls. She is terrified of them, if you have them around her you have to hide them or she will throw them away. She hates the texture and everything about it. weird huh? what made this story even more funny was when i was reading the comments on this blog i saw what emily wrote and i could so see angie doing that! haha

hahahaha well guys just to let you know, angie had to give Fred away. Well she did not HAVE to but her roomate persuaded her because Fred was SITTING in water only like 1 inch deep in a cereal bowl! he needed a real home. But anyways Angie was crying, I know, I do not understand why because she did not even show her love for Fred!!!
