Out with the crappy, in with the . . . slightly less crappy

We got this old Honda about 5 years ago, and it has been a great car for us. Very reliable. But it finally broke down last week (it has about 210,000 miles on it, so it really was about time). It was going to be $700 to fix it, and really it wasn't worth it, so we decided the time had come to bid it a fond farewell and move on. So we found this honda that is 6 years newer, with only 86,000 miles on it. So it really isn't anything that great, but it is "less crappy" and if it lasts us another 5 years we'll be thrilled.

On our way home from picking it up we stopped at Cabella's, which is a sporting goods store that has an aquarium full of huge trout and bass. Tyler didn't know what an aquarium was, so I told him it was a really big fish tank. The kids loved it, and even got to see them feed the fish, which was really entertaining; these poor little goldfish swimming for their lives, getting gobbled up by these massive, monstrous fish. But as we were standing in front of it, Tyler said "where's the tank?" I said, pointing to it, "This is it." He looked around, seemed confused, but didn't say anything else. So we looked around the store, fed some fish in a pond, and left. As we were walking to the car Tyler stopped and said, "Wait! We didn't see the tank!" And it dawned on me that he thought we were going to see an army tank. Poor kid, he was so disappointed when I explained it to him.
