Morning Mystery

This morning Dustan walked back into our room, holding something orange and said "What's this?" sarcastically. What? How do I know? I've been sleeping and I don't have my contacts in... He says,"It's a fish!"

"What? Harvey? Where was he?"

Dustan seemed to like the fact that the thing was completely dehydrated and had been lying on Nathaniel's floor, stiff as a board. After the boys flushed him away, we went to Nat's room to figure out how this happened. We thought perhaps the cats were guilty. But the stuff on the top of the dresser was undisturbed. Then we thought maybe Dominic had gotten him out, so we asked him. He fervently nodded his head yes. But we thought that was weird too as there wasn't water all over and that he couldn'tve (how do you actually write a double contraction??) reached it anyway, because Nathaniel can just reach it himself, and he's a solid 8 inches taller than him.

But Dustan said that Harvey was on the floor, and where he pointed was pretty far away (unless the boys had moved him from the original spot or something.) But just exactly how did Harvey Mr. Hungry Yergo get out of his bowl? The water wasn't high, and I can't imagine him jumping that far. So I suppose that it shall remain a mystery. So long fishy! This marks the first goodbye the kids will have to make to their pets. And so far, it went over just fine.
