Introducing Ghoti

Yesterday evening, Noah received the most amazingly, wonderful gift...some very close friends surprised Bubs with his very own fish!

 

Oh. my. goodness.

Bubs was in hog heaven!  Or should that be fishy heaven?!? 

Because of my crazy teacher obsession with the English language, we have decided to name the fish Ghoti.  If you know anything about the dingy English language, then when you read Ghoti you pronounced it /fish/.  Of course...because...

• gh, pronounced /f/ as in tough /tʌf/
• o, pronounced /ɪ/ as in women /ˈwɪmɪn/
• ti, pronounced /ʃ/ as in nation /ˈne͡ɪʃən/

The name works quite well in our house because our cat is named Kitty {short for Catherine}.

Mr. Man just loves to watch Ghoti swim all around his tank.

Thank you so much for bringing such joy to my Little Man!
