R.I.P. Mack Daddy

R.I.P. Mack Daddy, our beloved Betta fish who died yesterday morning.....

We decided to hold a funeral for him.

This is what Mack Daddy looked like when we first bought him...

This is what he looked like yesterday morning upon finding him dead... :(

So Katie really wanted to do a program, the whole legitimate deal with this fish funeral. So we let her. I don't know if you can see the quote that Katie found for our program but this is what it says, "Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. It's their way of falling."

Mack Daddy had finally floated to the top, belly upward by this time, so we stuck paper over his vase, at least until the viewing... haha we had the table all decorated for him! It was a shrine really.

Aubrey, with her mad rap/poetry skills whipped up a poem for Macker so we could read it during the program. This is how it went down....

Mack Daddy was a fish of class

He swam around proudly in the vase of glass.

To everyone who saw him, he was a friend

Sadly he didn't know his days would end.

We're not sure how he died but we have some thoughts

So we're reading this poem as his body rots.

Maybe it was the whirlpool we made in his tank

He seemed to enjoy it, and the next day he sank.

Or maybe it was the waffle maker that gave too much heat

It cooked all his insides, now his heart won't beat another beat.

Or maybe we fed him so much that we was loaded

And he got so fat that his stomach exploded.
Either way Mack Daddy died and gone is his soul
We bless him a good trip as he travels down the toilet bowl.

This is Quin trying to show remorse for our dead fish, but secretly he was planning on murdering the fish anyways, he just died before Quin could kill the fish himself!

We had cake, popcorn, Rollo's, and punch afterwards :)

Our good ole FHE brothers who came to support!

We're still not sure how Macker died, but he have some ideas...

Idea #1: Over fed by Katie

Idea #2: Cooked by my waffle iron

Idea #3: Freak accident with Katie's whirlpool 'game'

Idea #4: Heart attack from always flaring up at himself with his reflection
Idea #5: Suicide because Katie called him 'baby'
