The best story ever!!!!!!

As I was walking back from TEQB class and dinner last night Emily called me.
Actually let me set the stage just a little. So where I have dinner is about 5 minutes or so from the dorm on a normal walk. The walk is in front of a long row of dorms with the sidewalks being pretty busy at that time of day.
Ok. Back to the story. So Emily called me and she was cracking up. She told me that Teshauna's fish had died. (she is another girl in TEQB). I am a bad person but when she told me that I started cracking up because this is the girl who cant go back to the animal shelter because she cried the one and only time she went. So anyway, I was talking to Emily and then she put Teshauna on the phone and she was actually crying. Like real tears. I felt so bad but I was literally doubled over on the sidewalk laughing so hard. Danna and Stephan(Steph-ON) were walking with me and just didnt understand why I was almost laying in the middle of the sidewalk unable to breathe. Teshauna thought her fish was pregnant until she remembered it was a male. She fed it over half a bag of food because he looked hungry. Oh my goodness, it was crazy. When Emily got back on the phone I ask if I needed to go over there which is all the way across campus. She said that would be best so we could hold a memorial service for him. She also mentioned that I should wear my mourning clothes. So I got back to my room then changed into a black shirt for the occasion.

When I got to their dorm, Katie let me in and we went up to Teshauna's room. Bless her heart, her fish was in a cup with R.I.P. Lucy on the side. (remember this is a male fish) I am such a bad person but I was laughing the entire time. It was so crazy. There were 7 people in attendance and we all somehow got through the service. She had rose petals and she didnt want to flush the fish because if she flushed him she would lose 99 cents. Then all 7 people crammed into a little bathroom for the burial at sea of Lucy. Emily said we should say a prayer for the fish and Teshauna ask "Should we say it to us or to the fish?" Then she proceded to make fish faces at the cup. She dumped Lucy into the toilet and he landed on the side and floated to the bottom. She ask if he was alive. Oh my goodness we all had to look at her and try our hardest not to laugh. Then She decided it would be just too hard for her to flush the fish so Emily did.

When we left the room Katie, who had kept her composure all through the "funeral" lost it. She laughed so hard she was crying. Like big tears. Lots of them streaming down her face. She could hardly walk. Her boyfriend had to guide her down the hall so she wouldnt stop walking.

So that is the story of the over fed fish. I think all of TEQB should go in and get Teshauna that Dr. Seuss book about over feeding the fish.

Wow that was a long post and took several days. But there it is.
