Remember our mama fish that lived on our porch?
We got her from our neighbors down the street. They had her sitting on their porch, and Max admired her every time we walked or drove by. He called their house the "Mama Fish House." One day we were walking by and the neighbors were outside. We introduced ourselves and then told them we thought their fish was great. They promptly gave it to us. Max was thrilled. That was probably back in May or June.
A couple of weeks ago I realized there was something wrong with the porch. I couldn't put my finger on it, until I finally realized that the Mama Fish was missing! I searched the front yard because we'd had a pretty strong wind storm that week, and I thought and hoped maybe she was somewhere in the yard. Nope. Kris searched when he got home too. No dice. She was long gone.
I was hoping Max wouldn't notice. But the other day he and Kris took a walk, and walked by what once was the mama fish house, which of course made Max think of her. He was pretty upset when they got home and he realized she was gone. I didn't have much to tell him, I told him we'd keep our eyes out for her and I hoped we'd find her! (I also told him maybe she had to go somewhere warm for the winter--I don't think that was the best thing to tell him, but I was at a total loss!!)
What kind of jerk steals a Mama Fish off someone's porch, seriously! Plus we had a whole bunch of other things on the porch, windchimes and stuff hanging up and everything else is still there. Isn't that weird?
So if anybody sees a patchwork Mama Fish swimming in the sea near you, please send her our way. There's a little boy here that would really like to see her!
***(special note: for those of you who don't know, Max has a stuffed animal fish that he calls the Mama Fish. She's been his best friend since Christmas 2004. You can actually see her in the 2nd picture of this post)

That is so sad. I had almost the very same thing happen to me around this time a couple of years ago. Someone totally stole our wreath off the door. It's kind of strange how in disbelief you can be that someone would actually do something like that. I'm still a little angry.
This makes me cry.
I can't figure out how anybody gives themselves permission to take things that aren't theirs. I just really don't get it.
It's probably some dorky kids. They just don't understand that swiping one little thing off a porch would matter. If the weather is decent maybe you guys could take a walk and see if he got thrown in some bushes or is on somebody elses porch in the neighborhood.
oh man that sucks rocks! Poor Max!! We had left my running shoes and a large bag of dog food on our front porch (when we had our dog) and someone up and stole both!!! So if you see someone in the provo area with size 10 purple adidas running shoes running with their dog they might be a suspect....:D
hopefully you'll find Mama Fish or a nice replacement :)
Sad. In answer to your question a HORRIBLE JERK would steal a Mama Fish off a porch. I mean, seriously, what are they going to do with it? Put it on their porch? Take it to the Antique's Road Show? Its not like they NEEDED IT. Sorry to you and Max. Mean people suck.
Ah, poor Max, this makes me want to run right over to the ceramics store and paint a new one to send him. Really, if you didn't have a kid who LOVED rainbow fish, WHY would you want to take that?? A horrible jerk is right.
