Fish heads, Fish heads...
So as pretty much everyone here knows, I have three kids, Steven 16, Rachel 14 and Sarah 12. This weekend Mike and I got a prime chance to have a little fun with them.
While they were at thier dad's for the weekend Mike and I went out on our usual weekly grocery shopping trip. We make a real effort to eat well and this includes making fish / seafood a part of one dinner a week. While perusing the fresh fish selection our eyes settled on a giant fish including head and tail, cut into steaks.
To my delight and horror I realized the fish head was for sale.
That's right folks, for a meer $0.99 I could own a decapitated fish head.
Mike and I looked at it for a few minutes and then I turned to him and said; "Wouldn't it be fun to buy the fish head, bring it home and try and convince the kids (when they get home) that we'll be eating it?"
The girl at the fish counter was cracking up (she's in her early 20's and knows up by face and always chit chats with us a bit and flirts with Mike, it's cute).
We had the head wrapped up (we ended up getting Steelhead Trout also) and finished our shopping and headed home.
When it was getting close to the kids arrival time we unwrapped the wretched thing and stuck it into a frying pan and waited.
Steve was the first kid in the house. He has to walk by the stove to get to his room.
Steve: "Um, what the hell? Is that a bleep censored fish head?! What is wrong with you people!?"
He went back downstairs to grab another overnight bag and must have said something to Rachel because she had this look on her face when she walked in the house. She made a bee line right to the stove.
Rachel: "OMG! What the hell! You guys are NOT going to eat that! Please tell me you aren't going to eat that! OMG That's disgusting!"
In the meantime Sarah is now in the kitchen and Mike and I are telling them all about this AWSOME recipe for fish head soup that we're gonna try and they'll LOVE it.
Sarah: "Um that's disgusting and I am not going to eat that. You guys are gross."
They're all now gathered around the fish head in the pan on the stove and all talking at once.
"Omg it had TEETH!"
"Ewwwwwwww.... Look at it's tongue!!"
"Look at it's eyeballs! Gross eyeballs"
"Ew do you eat the eyeballs?! OMG That's so disgusting, please don't tell me you're going to eat the eyeballs!"
And so on and so forth.
We of course let them in on our grocery store trip and our discovering a fish head for sale and our just having to have it.
They were sufficiently grossed out. Our job was done.
Thank you fish head. Thank you for giving us more than $0.99 worth of entertainment.

Re: Fish heads, Fish heads...
All three of my kids have some Dr. Demento on thier Ipods/Psp's. I know they have "Fish heads" and "Dead puppies", not sure what else.
Oh yeah. I always introduce my kids to the finer things in life. :)

Re: Fish heads, Fish heads...
Wow, that's a big fish head.

Re: Fish heads, Fish heads...
The pictures are awesome. I love the way it's just sticking straight out of the pan with the mouth propped open. So gross. I should play that same joke on my boyfriend, tell him I'm making a special dinner for him.

Re: Fish heads, Fish heads...
That's hilarious! I don't know if you have a cat or not, but cats LOVE fish heads.

Re: Fish heads, Fish heads...
When you're old I can see you doing what my grandma does. She plays dead. It's so mean but damn I can't wait to do it. On another note, I heard fish head stew was good.

Re: Fish heads, Fish heads...
Yekhefah, We let our cats check it out and they could have cared less. I have NO idea why. Weirdos...

Lilithmorrigan, the older of my two daughters, Rachel, used to play dead all the time and a little too convincingly. She scared the shit out of me one day doing it, I honestly thought something was wrong with her lol! So see! No need to wait until you're older!
