Hearty Goldfish

Last night there was a gaijin gathering at Matt's apartment in neighboring Toei, and I was driving Hamish and Ed, Schwa's brother who is WWOOFing in Japan. Hamish was bringing games and movies, as well as some goldfish he had won at a school festival that day but couldn't take care of.

Hamish put his stuff down in the back seat before he got in himself. As he ducked into the car though, he yelled. The goldfish water was spilling onto my backseat. He handed the bag to Ed, already settled into the shotgun seat, for safe keeping. As everything calmed down, and we started to drive, Hamish asked Ed if there were only two goldfish in the bag. There were, and Hamish frantically searched around for the third, which he found on the seat. It wasn't moving, but they plunked it into the bag.

All three goldfish were seen eating happily in Matt's tank last night.
