2Henrys died. I know, your hearts are probably broken with the sadness of this news. You're probably devastated. You're wondering how your life will go on. Or maybe you're asking yourself, "Who the heck is 2Henrys, and what kind of name is that anyway?"
2Henrys was Emmas goldfish- well actually he was reddish. On her 3rd birthday she was given 2 fish. One of them died before we had a chance to name it and we replaced it with the fish who was to become 2Henrys. 1Henry is the name of the other one that is still swimming happily around in it's tank. We don't know why Emma chose those names for her fish. We can't come up with anything or anyone that we know with the name Henry- which is probably a good thing since the name is quickly becoming overused.
Tonight as I was putting her down for bed and singing the song that names everyone who lives in this house, I tried to leave out the name 2Henrys because I didn't want to upset her. But she caught on and insisted that I include 2Henrys anyway. And then proceeded to ask the question,
"Mommy, do fish go to Heaven when they die, or do they go down the toilet and into the river and into the ocean to Nicaragua where Aunt Joy is?"
I dunno Emma, I've never been to Heaven so I'm not sure if fishies go there when they die.....
Well, that appeased her for the time being. And yes, she is planning on getting a new fish. Guess what it's name will be...... 3Henrys!
