RICK- We hardly knew thee

Friday night was a special night. The night we added a new member to the Meyerson Clan.


RICK the Red Fish.




Here in chronological order is our adventures with RICK.


Friday- WELCOME HOME!! New aquarium. Too scared to eat. I can understand. Lexi sang to him for an hour. Then wanted to pray to him. That's right, TO him. whoa.

Saturday- Wake up to Lexi singing to Rick. Stare at him. Still didn't eat. Give the guy a break. His new home is HUGE compared to his ounce of water he had before.

Sunday- Still exciting but no more singing. Didn't eat. Hmmm....

Monday- "Mom, Rick looks hungry." "You are right, he does." Still doesn't eat. "Can Rick come to the mall?"

Tuesday- "Morning Rick.....uhh..." Belly up.


Tuesday- Take Rick back to store..."and please bring a water sample." "Yeah, we lost a whole shipment for bad water." Super great!!


I'm thinking goldfish, or maybe a sticker of a fish on the aquarium.

I remember one time we wanted a fish to die. Mean? Yes, I know. Remember we left him to fend for himself over Christmas break, and 2 1/2 weeks later the thing was still alive? (And our dorm STUNK!)

Rick did live longer than Marlee's goldfish - Jaws. He had an exsistance of almost 48 hours. Don't do a goldfish.

I have one question...who picked the name Rick??

Rick is a common name. Lexi happens to really like it for some reason.

Jenn-you should be a writer...cross those picket lines and sell some of the Meyerson day-to-day antics. The show would be a hit...it already is!

1. I had a red betta fish in college
2. My dad's name is Rick...interesting name for a fish
3. I almost wet my pants reading this blog.
4. I'll be your pet so Lexi can sing and pray to me :) Plus I'm portable and can go to the mall!

My name is Herb from FISH social services and we had a report from a RICK on Monday night. In the report he states that you waited for Lexi to go to bed and started taunting him. If we find our through our investigation that this is indeed true you will fined the amount of 1 million dollars payable to a Jessica Mortensen. I will contact you with further information in this case. Please stick to only goldfish crackers until further notice.

That is all
