Loach: a.ka. - "Snake Fish"



This morning, AJ was sitting in front of the aquarium eating his breakfast. He pointed to one of the loaches and asked, "What's his name?"

I told him that he had never really named it, but that he could name it whatever he wanted. He thought a minute and replied, "Snake Fish."

"Well," I replied, "That's what it is, but that's not a name. You are a boy and your name is AJ. That big snake fish, what could you name him?"

He thought again and firmly stated, "Grandpa."

"That's a good name," I told him. "What do you want to name the little snake fish?"

Without hesitation he answered, "Grandma."

His grandparents will be so flattered.
