Pincettes

I convinced Brendan to get a pet for Sky: tonight we got Sky a goldfish! After a little practice, sleeves up, hands in the bowl, Sky finally caught the poor thing and checked it out for himself, and then -with quick prompting- put it back in its water. It might survive its first night! The dude at the register said "goldfish are tough, they're a good starter fish"... little does he know what the life of this fish is about to be. Anyways, Sky is psyched. I asked him "what's his name?", and he answered like he always knew what his name would be: "pincettes!" (it means twisers in French). Brendan and I have no idea where this comes from!!!! In the meanwhile, Tao is trying really hard to crawl forward, and it's not easy, but it is going to happen so soon!!

J'ai convaincu Brendan d'acheter un peit animal pour Skyouche: ce soir on lui a achete un poisson rouge! Apres un peu d'entrainement, les manches relevees, les mains dans le bocal, il a attrape la pov' bete par la queue, et -a nos beuglements- l'a remis dans l'eau, ouf, sauve, le poisson va peut-etre survivre la nuit! Le caissier a dit que les poissons rouges sont tres robustes, et donc un bon poisson pour les debutants... a mon avis il n'imagine pas la moitie de ce dont Skyouche est capable! Dans tous les cas, Sky est ravis. Je lui ai demande "il s'appelle comment ton poisson?" et sans aucune hesitaion, il a repondu "pincettes!" On est pas trop surs d'ou ca vient, mais c'est rigolo!! Pendant ce temps la, le petit Tao s'entraine dur, le quatre pattes en marche avant c'est pour bientot!!
