Animal crackers in the fish tank

Its 7:00 PM and we were in the kitchen. We had finished supper. Kiera and I were sitting at the table working on her homework (reading word flash cards). Chris was putting dishes in the dishwasher.

What is missing from this equation?

I realized who was missing and at the same time realized that I couldn’t hear her (and that’s NEVER a good sign). Where’s Caitlin?

Chris found her in the living room… putting animal crackers in the fish tank. Luckily he caught her right away and was able to remove the soggy cookies quickly.

Her reasoning? “Fish hungry.”

Well, can we blame her? She watches all of us feed the fish and she thought they were hungry. She’s so sweet. Later in the evening, I caught her watching the fish intently with her face an inch from the glass. She leaned in and kissed the glass several times. So sweet, indeed.
