“What are you looking at?”
“That black fish!”
There is an aquarium behind me. A handful of colourful fish weave through the artificial world. They say fish are soothing.
“He keeps chasing the yellow fish around. He’s being a jerk.”
“Maybe they’re playing a game. How do you know it’s not fun?”
“See there he goes again. It’s not a game. Look at the yellow fish. He’s thinking, ‘Why won’t that guy leave me alone!’ ”
I feel obligated to point out that we are not characters in Finding Nemo. “I don’t think that fish is thinking anything.”
“He’s doing it again! What an asshole!”
I love that she thinks one fish is being mean to another fish, and is getting genuinely upset about it. I tell her so. Although let’s remember our priorities, it’s date night. So, I add, “Now quit worrying about the fucking fish and pay attention to me.”

He was being a complete asshole – the fish not Dirk.
This is funny. I think my sister was put on this earth to make me laugh and break my toys.
