Finding Nemo - Literally

For Easter, Monkey got a watering can with Nemo on it to play with in the bathtub, because he is obsessed with playing with water.

This morning, Monkey was looking at all the DVD's and found the Finding Nemo case. And that's all it was - the case.

Monkey decides he HAS to watch Nemo.

Well, ever since Monkey and I moved in with Cougar and Lion, most of my belongings that I don't use every day have been sitting in the garage, waiting for the perfect free moment to move into the house (when does a full-time working mother of a toddler have any free time - that's another story).

So I tell Monkey, "Ok, let's go to the garage and Find Nemo."

Monkey keeps repeating "Let's find Nemo", as we search the many boxes in the garage.

We can't find it, and we finally give up.

As soon as I walk up the stairs I get an aha moment, and go back down and look in the dvd player that I almost gave away. Sure enough, I find Nemo.

As I am coming up the stairs I yell up to Monkey "I found Nemo!"

It's at that moment that the irony struck me. We found Finding Nemo.

What a funny adventure!
