Marriage and Baby Fish



On the drive home from the movie "Big Hero 6," which I might add was amazing and all four of us loved it, Lincoln shared with us the inside scoop on fish.

Lincoln: Guess how old fish have to be to become dads?

Me: How old?

Lincoln: Five.

Me: Oh wow! They start young, and how old is your fish?

Lincoln: He's seven.

Me: When is he going to have a baby?

Lincoln: He can't poop out a baby cause he's a boy.

Me: Well that makes sense. What if we get him a girl fish, can he be a dad then?

Lincoln: Well he would have to get married first.

Me: Of course

Lincoln: Yes, but to get married, an honor fish has to come to do the wedding, and then we would need to invite a bunch of fish fans. And the wedding would need to be in a wedding place.

Me: Alright, so let me get this straight. In order to get a baby, you need an honor fish to marry the fish, and fans will need to be there to watch. Is that right?

Lincoln: Yes, and then they can get a baby.

Me: So then the girl fish has a baby fish?

Lincoln: No that's disgusting; pooping a baby out in the water is gross.

Me: Well then where do baby fish come from?

Lincoln: They start out really, really small.

Me: And then what?

Lincoln: And then you buy it from the store.

And that's how baby fish are born!
