Sharks

All fish are known as shawrks (said with a heavy Italian accent) to Brice. We wondered why our son sounds like an Italian mob boss when he says the word shark, then it dawned on us...Shark Tale.

If you haven't seen the movie:

The gangster shark boss Lino voiced by Robert Dinero, is a Great White Shark and master of the reef. Lino has two sons, Frankie and Lenny. Lenny is voiced by Jack Black and is a Great White Vegetarian Shark. Oscar, voiced by Will Smith, is a fast talking fish on the reef who takes credit for killing Lino's son Frankie. Lenny and Oscar become friends and attempt to get themselves out of trouble. I think the movie came out in 2005, we've seen it a hundred times and apparently Brice has used it as phonics lesson.

So, since Brice loves to see the sharks and we just went to the aquarium a couple of weeks ago, we took a trip to PetSmart today. Brice was as excited about PetSmart as he is the aquarium. He walked down the isle, rounded the corner and saw the wall of fish tanks. He looked at me and said, "Oh wow Boss, look at this!" Yes, he still calls me Boss. See 3/29/09 post for explanation on this one.

We spent almost an hour in the store, looking at the fish, hamsters, birds, snakes, turtles and a chinchilla. It was as good as a trip to the zoo for Brice. As we walked the isles of the store, he insisted we get Maggie a present. He picked out a squeaker toy for her right away. After carrying the toy around until we were ready to leave, he changed his mind. He decided on a red leather collar with a blinging bone on it. The little bone hangs off the buckle and has rhinestones on it. When we got home we put it on her right away. She's been wagging her tail ever since.
