An early Father's day present

[andretti]

Wow...do my kids know me. :yes: After looking at my tank when I got home, I noticed a few new inhabitants; a green hammer coral and the most colorful flame angel I've ever seen.

A post -it was on the tank that read "Happy early Farther's Day to the best Dad ever." My two boys spent their own money to buy these...and as you know they aren't cheap. They even acclimated them properly (so says my wife) they watch me each time I do it.

Apparently they've been planning this for months and have been paying attention to what I like at the lfs. I really don't like the thought of them spending that much $$$$ on me, just one of them would've great. I know the hammer cost about $50 and the flame about $45. I'm going to find a way of giving them each $25 back.

yes!!!! Thats great! I on the other hand I am a little bit selfishyou see I was born on fathers day! So I never get my dad a prize. I just make him spend the day with me. And I tell him "I am his fathers day gift because without me he wouldn't be a dad." Last year he asked if he could exchange me like a gift! he was kiding.. lol
