“Mu-uuuum!”
“Yes, Robbie?”
“How do they do it?”
“What? Look, stop pushing your sister!”
“But Mu-uuuum!”
“Is this another of your school projects?”
“Yes! It’s important!”
“Go on, then…”
“How do they breathe?”
“Through their mouths, just like we do – stop pushing your sister!”
“But they have those funny things on the side of their heads – I don’t know what they’re for…”
“Ask your father when he gets back – he’ll know. Look! They’re throwing the food in!”
“But Mu-uuuum?”
“For goodness sake! Ears – they’re called ears. And they’re for hearing with. Up you pop, mouth open wide – well done, Robbie!”

Freya Writes... 
Haha lovely 😀 Love it
Thank you – thought up whilst waiting for my train at London Bridge! 🙂
Excellent 😀 Some of them are the best. I think it is cool. It did give me a giggle 🙂
Great! 🙂 Best carrying on commuting then…..
Great one … ears indeed… 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Oh boy wait till Dad gets home indeed. I hope he knows about gills. Great one.
He’d better know, otherwise it’s going to be a long old night!
Nice twist! 🙂
Thank you, Sandra. There’s nothing wrong with a good old twist!
Cute!
Thank you 🙂
I like how you dropped the subtle hint “is this another of your school projects?” Which, when looking back, was very clever.
Thank you… I like the subtle approach 🙂
Clever twist and funny.
Thank you, Mike! 🙂
Brilliant.
Thank you!
Dear Freya,
Ears! It took a second for that to sink in. Well done. Swimmingly written.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle.
Dear Freya,
I echo Helena’s praise of your story. Very well done. I loved the flip, twist, and fish smack in the face you gave me. VEry well done.
Aloha,
Doug
Thank you – and thank you for the inspiration 🙂
The fish point of view is fun, especially from the small fry. And I love that you managed to hide it so well — last lines are perfect. Though I have to admit that I’m now stuck with the image of a young fish pushing his sister. *grin*
I’m glad the twist wasn’t immediately obvious! 🙂
Fish are pushy creatures….
Nice perspective. Well done.
Thank you, Tony.
