Little Chimchar has some issues.
Hubby: "Uhhh, Mom...there's something wrong with your fish."
Grandma: "Oh no, he just likes to swim upside down sometimes. He's a little retarded."
Me: "That's......not right."
Hubby: "Yeah, no seriously Mom. Your fish has issues."
Grandma: "Oh, he's done that for months. He'll flip back over in a second - he likes to float like that sometimes."
And I trust my children to this woman.

Words of 'wisdom' from the Rummy One (and various people I've stolen from)
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Some people are like slinkys; they serve no useful purpose, but they do make you smile when they tumble down the stairs.
When I was a kid we had a sandbox. Actually it was a quicksand box. I was an only child...eventually.
It's a mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes.
You know what I miss? I miss the old days, when I'd think up a sinister scheme for world domination and friends would show a little emotional support. I mean come on now....really.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: I have absolutely no idea how this sentence I'm currently writing is going to finish. When and if it does, I can only hope it makes some kind of coherent ceramic pineapple vibraphone.

That picture cracks me up. The upside down fish looks like he's thinking, "Whelp. Here we are."
I had 2 of them in an aquarium that did that all the time.
Made for entertainment when people would come over.
