Dorothy



Claire is now the proud owner of Dorothy the goldfish. Every time we go to Walmart Claire asks to see the fish. We spend at least 10 minutes looking at the fish and her yelling "MAMA ITS DOROTHY, IT A SISH. For you who are lucky enough not to have to watch Elmo's world. Elmo has a pet goldfish named Dorothy. Claire and I were once again looking at the fish while Mark and Ella were doing other shopping. . Claire yelled DOROTHY!!! over and over again. When an employee asked if we needed any help getting a fish. I guess he thought any little girl that excited must be getting a fish not just looking. I looked at the price once again 28 cents, and decided that Claire was going to get a fish. Claire finally broke me. As the man was catching a fish for us, I heard a "WHATS GOING ON HERE?" I was busted. It was Mark. I was hoping that Claire would carry her Dorothy up to him and show him and leave me out of it. I wasn't that lucky. As Mark went to find a fish bowl and some food I could see him shaking his head. Next time I am going to send him to look at the fish with her while I do other shopping. It was only a matter of time before I gave in. He is stronger and can resist that Claire charm. I cannot. Claire had to have Dorothy sit next to her in the car seat. She put her arm around the bag, like they were best buds. She kindly asked "You alright Dorothy" as she poked the bag. I'm surprised she made it home alive. She did, and is now swimming around her new home. I guess now I'd better learn how to take care of a goldfish
