This is why they still live with us.....

This got me to laughing so hard yesterday, I had to leave the room so I wouldn't hurt their feelings.
My Granddaughter and I always feed my fish together. I have a 55 gallon tank with 4 platys. I cannot commit to putting anymore in there, and they were "starter" fish. I am having a battle with ammonia levels and cannot get them down to save my (or the fishes) life. However, the fish have been in there for 3 months now and are still swimming. Oh, I also have a braindead plecco. He just sits inside a rock, we have to poke him occasionally to see if he is still alive.
This is an unaltered conversation.
SL is holding the baby so she can watch them eat from the top. They nibble her fingers when she does this and she loves it.

Daughter and soon to be Son-in-Law:

D: We need to adjust the background so the fish won't go behind it. (starts to stick hands in).
     Grant, you need to do this, I have bleach on my hands. I will hold the baby.
SL: I can't do it, I have Kaboom on my hands.
     Wait, you can hold the baby with bleach on your hands, but not stick them in fish water?
D: (exasperated sigh) Grant! The ammonia levels in the water are VERY HIGH, and if I stick my hands in
     there, it will cause a chemical reaction and we will all get sick.
SL: What could happen?
D: I could pass out.

I fear for that child. She has more sense than her mommy or daddy. But the comic relief is endless. I love my house!
