PetSmart Fun!

Today the girls and I ventured into PetSmart to look at the tree frogs. Here's the background on that... Last night we were watching Go, Diego, Go! It was an episode about rescuing tree frogs. I happened to mention to Leah that I had a tree frog when I was younger (and that I was scared to touch it and it would often jump out of it's cage). Well, she just became obsessed with the idea of getting a tree frog. So I decided to take her into the pet store to look at them, figuring she wouldn't be impressed and drop the idea. PetSmart only had one and it was hiding in a corner where Leah couldn't see it. So she still wants one.

Now here's the really funny story. When we first walk in to PetSmart, Amie makes a beeline for the fish tanks. She has her hands all over them yelling "hi fish! Hi fish!" I'm trying to convince her to talk quietly and not to touch the tanks while trying to get a hold of Leah who is frantically looking for the frogs. All of a sudden I hear Amie let out a blood-curdling scream and take off running. She's yelling "no fish! No fish!" I turn around and see her standing there with a fish flopping around on the floor at her feet. And she was hysterical! I yell for one of the workers to come scoop the poor, flopping fish off the floor, then try to comfort my poor baby who is in tears at this point. It was so funny! I thought she might have picked the fish up out of the tank, but the worker said they tend to jump out from time to time. Suicidal fish I guess? I really wish I'd had it on video- Amie's reaction was priceless!
