Fish n' Chip…and Thompson

We have a beta hanging on the front hall wall. In a fish bowl, I should clarify that, it's not as if we have him nailed to the wall like a poor man's version of a mounted deer head. Nope. He safe. In a bowl. Chillin' on our wall. Here's a visual.

Forgive the shitty iPhone photos in this post. Anywho, Ariana wanted him, so Ariana cares for him, and Ariana named him. What's that? You would like to know our fish's name? It's Fish. His name, it's Fish. Shocker, eh?!

This weekend we added to our fish, except these bad boys don't reside on a wall, they live in a tank on Ari's armoire. We only planned to get one - another Beta, but then she wanted a buddy for her Beta and convinced me. But then the dude at the pet store told me the second fish she was getting do best in pairs, so we brought home three. 

"What are you gonna name them?" I asked her.

Ari: 'N, Chip, and Thompson.

Me: So we're gonna have Fish, N, Chip, and Thompson?

Ari: Yup!

Me: ….

That's a pic of Chip. 

'N and Thompson were hiding in the rock. At first I was curious where the hell the name Thompson came from since it had no relation to fish and chips. But after checking on them today and hearing myself ask her, "Where is Nnnnnn at? I don't see him..." I quickly wondered why I didn't inquire why N didn't even get named And or something remotely close to an actual word. Instead, homeboy got a name that makes it sound like we just got done eating some delicious chocolates or something; Nnnnnnnnnnn.

I 'm certain we aren't the only ones with pets named after noises you can make with your mouth. Or maybe we are and we are just weirder than I thought.
