"Yeah he's a real jokster, hiding them around my apartment." "What is he hiding around your apartment?" my boyfriend asks as he takes a seat at the kitchen table. "Gold fish with a big ugly red eye." answers Melanie. "He plants them in places for me to find. I've found two and there's a third one that I can't find.". "That's it!" I announce. "I've got to go find that fish!" I dash up the stairs and start looking around. I look in the sugar bowl, no fish. I look in the shower, no fish. I look on the window sills, no fish. I return to the kitchen to find Melanie cooking and Kevin also in pursuit of le poisson. I say to Melanie "I don't know chicken, I can't find it. "He says it's in the most obvious place." Did he give you a clue?" He said "I hid it in the kitchen, or the bathroom, or in the bedroom.".
Oh this guy is quite the comedian.
I walk into the hallway, turn around and as I cross the threshold back into the apartment I stop and look at the two wall sconces. Above them is a sign with the phrase "friends and family forever." There, perched on the tack, is the fish. An obvious place??? I don't think so.
I cry out "I found it!" The family comes clamoring up the stairs. "Where is it!?" "It's up there on the sign." We stand around talking about what to do next. "Put it in your blog!" Melanie says with a glint of revenge in her eye.
The joke is now on you sucka. : )
