It all started with Olivia’s trout, the one she carries around the house at night, and continues with the toy Christmas Bass, or as we think of it now as The Perch, for reasons that will be made clear shortly.

Any of you who know and can identify fish are welcome to weigh in here. It’s a pretty thing, about eight inches long with dark tail and fins. Too fat to be a sunfish. Oh, let’s just all call it a Perch.

Olivia’s trout is a big toy, longer than Olivia, tail excluded. She loves her trout and so, well, you know Mom by now, right? It was only a matter of time, really.

Olivia has never been one to put up with things balanced on her head but we are talking about her trout, so naturally, she was okay with it.

But the Perch? A Perch perched on Olivia’s head? Even though much smaller than The Trout, would Olivia put up with that? That would be a challenge.

Or, maybe not so much a challenge.

Neither was adding a mousie on top of the Perch. Olivia did, however, draw the line at balancing The Trout AND the Perch at the same time so you’ll have to just imagine that in your own heads.

Thank you, Olivia. You can go about carrying your fish around the house again.
