My Grand kids were very happy with their gifts this year. The little one loved his microscope but the hit was the fish tank. Right after lunch it was put in place on top of my Grandsons dresser. I'm not sure that was a good idea but Oma kept her mouth shut.
My son in law decided to speed things up by attaching a hose to the bathroom sink down the hall and then into the tank. He had to hold the hose on the faucet because it was to big. I walked in a saw water on the floor. The vanity door was leaking at an alarming rate. He opened the door and the floor and cabinet flooded. Everything came to a halt while the clean up began. Still in the holiday spirit we made a bucket Brigade. The tank got filled,bathroom cleaned up and some Christmas cookies were eaten.
The next day we all went to the pet store for fish. The fish were chosen and floated in their plastic bag in the new tank for exactly 20 minutes. Finally they were let loose in the tank.
The last I heard all but one lived. That one was dissected and looked at through the microscope which my younger Grandson said was extremely gross and he thought he was going to barf.
A Christmas to remember. I'm waiting for a call telling me how the dresser drawers won't open because the dresser sagged but Oma will bite her lip and not say a word.
