"Maybe, they are an interesting family."
Backstory
Ella's goldfish have recently become very chumy, always swimming next to each other. When she asked why, I said," Maybe they are in love?" "Can't be she says, they are both girls. But Mom, maybe they are one of those interesting families, how cool would that be?" "Interesting?" I ask. "Yes, she says, I told my teacher that sometimes girls marry girls and sometimes boys marry boys and my teacher said, That is very interesting!"Saturday, Sunday, Monday (bonus!!) Funday...cleaning the fish tank. Life doesn't get any better than hanging with a tiny angel who embraces the world, just as she finds it.
