One day earlier this week we had gotten home from work much sooner than normal and so we headed across the border to grab a couple of burritos and pick up a bubble coral that Joe and Annette at Salt Water Paradise had ordered in for us. While we were looking at corals I turn around only too find that Tracy has left me standing there and talking to myself. I hate when she does that!! So, feeling rather foolish, I sheepishly slink off around the store to find out where she has gotten too and low and behold; I find Tracy at the live rock tank, on her knees with her head pressed firmly against the glass. Immediately my mind goes to wondering what her childhood school years were like and wondering what the length of the bus was that she rode on and if she is used to having her face mashed against glass?? But I have gained wisdom over the years and I keep all of those thoughts to myself!! After a few minutes, I hear Tracy say that she can hear a mantis clicking in the tank and she's looking for him. A few minutes more and Tracy points out the rock that the mantis is in and a couple of seconds after that I hear Tracy telling Joe that she wants that rock and the mantis that is inside of it! My mind immediately begins to wonder; wha wha what?? Has she given this any thought?? Where are we going to put it?? I can't start a new tank but she can?? But as I stated above; I have learned a few things over the years and so I stay quiet! “Do you mind, sweetheart” I hear. But as I stated above; I have wisdom brought on by age and so I courageously respond; “not at all, darling”. And so Tracy has started “THE 20”
