A Little Fish Story

While watching Carter this afternoon we started doing some arts and crafts. We had just read a book about unusual fish so Carter had me cut out paper fish for him. We then began to color the cut outs. I got the little fish and Carter got the large shark. While coloring the shark Carter asks me what is the name of the little fish that live with sharks and eat the scraps. I told him that they were called remora. So he starts drawing remora on the shark. A small one by the tail and a larger one by the mouth. It was larger because it was closer to the mouth and got more food scraps. He then turned the cut out over and drew a very large remora. When I asked him why it was so large he tells me it has a health problem. It has a health problem because it eats only a 1/4 pound of fish a day and yet it still gets bigger. I tell him maybe it is because it is eating fried fish. "Grandpa there is no fried food in the ocean. I told you he has a health problem!"
