First of all, NO...I am not pregnant with twins!
Now, that's clear...today was Peter's preschool Beach Day! Long before our bouts with sickness, I vaguely remember signing a paper about a goldfish. I quickly forgot about it. Today at pick-up, before coats and hats got on, I hear Connie say, "Peter, want to pick out your goldfish?" In my mind (and maybe slipping out of my mouth),
"Did she say 'goldfish'? That's TODAY?!? OK, roll with it, Mommy."
After picking a random fish out of what looked like 50, Peter anxiously watched his teacher chase the little flipper. Be darned if two got into the net. Connie says, "Peter it's your lucky day!" In my mind...
"Ok, did she just give me TWO goldfish to take home?!"
Too late, Peter was smitten with his two new pets.
"OK, Petco...here we come!"
Ninety minutes after pick-up, we now have a little aquarium, filter, fish food, and two goldfish named Flippy (the boy) and Apple (the girl with "lipstick") sitting in our kitchen.
"Surprise, Daddy!"

Before I could even think about how these fish threw a big detour in my morning, Peter said something that made it all worth it."Mommy, thank you for saying I could have a goldfish from school!"
(A big hug came with it)
Sooo worth it!
