Our only pet is a fish (male beta "fighting fish").  His name is "Two
O'clock."  Don't ask me why...my daughter named him without any coaching
just before her second birthday.  She loves to hold a mirror up to his
bowl and watch him go nuts.  I don't let her do it too often,
though...it's kind of cruel.
