The Story of The Fish

It all started with the Annual Simmons White Elephant Exchange. After attending the a family party (the elite Utah family party at Janice's house) we decided to change the rules of the traditional White Elephant to the new rules we had learned there. In order to take a gift from the selection, you have to preform a talent for the group. Then if you would like to steal someone's gift, you have to challenge them to some sort of challenge. So on with the story.

Jaelyn out did herself and brought goldfish as her exchange gift. Mike Bizzle was lucky enough to pick it out of the pile and it became one of the coveted items.
So Kim challenged M. Bizzle to see who could hop on one leg the longest without switching legs. Needless to say, Kim beat Mike in this challenge.
Jeph was quite jealous and challenged Kim to a broom pull contest. Jeph seemed to out power Kim and took claim over the fishes.

Jeph was generous enough to offer half to Mike and Kim since we both want pets and cannot have anything bigger than a fish in our places. So Mike and Kim agreed to take them home and keep three and bring three over to us later.

Well, the next day they show up at our place with four of the fish and reported the other two had committed suicide by jumping into the garbage disposal. What else can you do when I fish jumps down there but just flip the switch? Kim, you fish killer!! After which Mike and Kim decided the pet thing just is not for them at this time.

They told us that they did not have fish food so they had been feeding the fish Cheetos. We had some Beta fish food so we tried that, and the fish rejected that so we resorted to Cheddar popcorn. They loved it! Unfortunately, it did not keep them alive. One by one, every day, another one bit the dust.

Therefore we are left with the lone survivor:

BLACKY! ( He was named such due to the obvious black mark on his head which has strangely spread across his body.) Welcome to the family Blacky!
