The Six Dollar Fish

I was at the fair and there was this goldfish game where you toss a ping pong ball into a goldfish bowl full of colored water. The goldfish bowls were very small and they were all spread apart. And on my 30th shot, when I lost all confidence, I tossed the ball in and won a goldfish. And after my 30th shot, if I didn't get it in, we would have to leave and I couldn't get the goldfish, so that was pretty special.

And you know how the title is the 6 dollar fish? Well, you could by the cage, the rocks, the food, and the goldfish just for 5 dollars, and I only got the fish. And I felt so so so so so soooo happy.


I named my fish Dotty. And especially not Richy Rich Mohawk the 6th (I'm talking to you Grandma!!!!). I feed the goldfish Tetracolor Tropical Flakes and I hope it lasts me very long.
Here is a close up of my fish. I named him Dotty because of the dots on him. I think he is really cute.
I hope he gets used to being looked at, because I don't want him to be scared when I feed him, and Arthur likes watching him eat, and I just want to watch him too.

Congratulations on catching your wonderful fish! Once I won a fish for Monya at a fair, but I don't think it was with ping pong balls.

Nice going there, Jamey! I think you are going to be a star basketball player just like your Dad. The relative size of a ping-pong ball to the hole in the gold fish bowls is about the same as that of a basketball to the hoop.

You did good!!

A big thumbs up Beebs! Dotty is an excellent name choice for a spotted fish.

Hey Jamey,
How is Dottie doing these days?
