HUMANS!
Why are you always spying on me? It's not my fault I live in a glass house.
Sorry. Please forgive my very UNsophisticated self for such a rude opening statement, but you startled me when you tapped on my window. That scared the beejeebees outta' me. Why do you do that?
My name is Sophi...last name Sticate. Yeah, yeah, I know. That's a cruel twist of fate, but I didn't choose my own name. I ask you, how can a fish be sophisticated when I pee in my own pool and leave a trail of poop hanging out of my butt?
Some kid throws my food at me every day, so it's no wonder I haven't developed manners. His Mom says I stink, but if she'd change my water every once in a while, maybe she'd stop holding her nose when she comes near. I even heard her threaten to flush me down the potty!
You want a sophisticated fish? Surely you jest.
NOT for any contest
