My youngest just walked up, (out of bed to get a drink), and with the absolute innocence and brutal honesty of an 8 yr old, sleepily asked, " Did that carp escape from a circus?" turned around, and walked back to bed.
Don't blame him, as his father has been somewhat lax in regards to educating his children about fish species other than what swims in our own ponds....
There may yet be hope for the boy......
