You might be wondering why there is a picture of a Bump Head Parrot Fish on my blog. You wanna know why? It's because this exact image of this fish completely diminishes any sign of a bad day. And today was just that. In fact, terrible might be a more fitting word.I woke up this morning to way too much snow. (I know, I know, I begged for a snow storm. But I kind of forgot that along with a snow storm comes cleaning off your car the next morning. I'll be sure to remember that the next time I wear my PJ's inside out.) Thankfully my neighbor was cleaning off his car, parked right behind mine, at the same time as me. He yelled over to me casually, "Hey, you know you have a flat tire, right?" Wrong. I did NOT know I had a flat tire. Thanks for ruining my day, what's-your-name.
For some reason I continued to clean off my car, well knowing that it wasn't going anywhere. Still, I had to go to work. Walking Phenomena took over all of my sick days. Great. So I run inside and ask my mom what the heck I'm supposed to do now. "You don't have a donut?" "No, I used that the LAST time I had a flat, remember?" "Ohhhh Sh*t."
That being said I had to wait one our for my mom's boyfriend to get to our house to try and solve this debacle. My dad was in Florida (must be nice) my sisters were at work/visiting my grandmother in the hospital. AAA was useless without a donut. I was stranded. Thankfully, my mom's boyfriend was able to fill up my tire and I was able to carefully speed off to ger some new tires with my mom. Two hours and $600 later, I had four new tires. Still I was not excited at all. I was three hours late for work. talk about looking forward to a crappy paycheck next week.
Thank God for my mother. She saved the day. Literally.
Now back to that whole Bump Head Parrot Fish thing ...
Aside from being this radical, hilarious looking creature, did you know that the Bump Head Parrot Fish (seen above) is a tropical fish that actually serves a purpose? Get this it eats coral, which is why is has those super sweet human-looking teeth. You'll never guess what happens after it eats the coral ... It's poops out SAND creating more sand for the bottom of the ocean.
Just another fun fact for you to remember next time you get some sand in your mouth at the beach. You just ate fish poop.
