If she says no to that, then she's the one with the problem.

KEEPER OF CATS, FISH AND CATFISHES
Just for a laugh...some of those points that you might not want to elaborate on...especially to the parents or spouse:
-Food cost is extremely low.
(til you realize how GOOD the pricier foods are...still cheaper than dog or cat food though!)
-It's not a big deal if you miss a feeding
(tell that to the fish!)
-they do not smell
(opinions vary...I like the smell of a healthy planted tank)
-fish do not make noise.
(No, but the pumps and filters sure do!)
-they will not defecate on your floor,or scent your clothes.
(have you smelled my clothes after I do water changes in 6 tanks?)
-they will not get into things that they aren't supposed to.
(umm...filters, crevices they can't get out of, other fish mouths, out of the tank onto the floor...)
-they will not need to be given shots,spayed,neutered,or tagged.
(no, just medicated when they get sick...Oh, and I'll need another tank for that please!)
-Stands can be a piece of furniture
(and the nice stands cost as much as good furniture too-unless you build yer own)
- They don't drag out toys and leave them on the steps for you to trip on
(no, but I do...hoses mostly
)
- They don't wet in the middle of the night if you forget + They don't bother you while you're on the phone
(ahh yes, but when...you forget to remove the siphon from the tank when cleaning up...or get distracted while you are on the phone? you betcha they do :headshake2: Took a few towels to clean THAT up)
- They don't try to hump the leg of an important visitor + They don't want to date that weirdo you disapprove of
(no, but my limia tridens will mate with mollies 6x their size!)
- They don't beg for food while your eating
(no, just constantly)
All in good fun...

They dont have much facial expression, therefore you never know when you have done something wrong and upset them LOL
No I have to wake up at 3AM to check why the filter is noisy or the air pump has fallen on the floor and making a racket.
LOL!
Glad they dont take over the bed LOL...
