Traveling home from the pet store after purchasing one small white and orange goldfish (to replace a recently deceased - may he rest in peace - betta fish), our family was trying to decide upon a name for the new little guy.  This was the ensuing conversation.

Lucas:

I know, Bluey Blue. (The name of our recently deceased - may he rest in peace - betta fish)

Dad:

But he doesn’t have any blue on him.

Ethan:

Then let’s call him Bluey Orange.

Dad:

But he doesn’t have any blue on him.

Ethan:

I don’t know what to name him.

Dad:

What other animal has white and orange on it?

Ethan:

I know, a cow!!

Dad:

Do cows have orange on them?

Ethan:

No.

Dad:

Then, what kind of animal has white and orange on it?

Ethan:

I know, a cow!!

Dad:

I don’t think a cow has orange on it do you?

Ethan:

No.  But it has white.

Lucas:

A cow has black and white.

Dad:

You are right Lucas.  Does a tiger have white and orange on it?

Ethan & Lucas:

Yeah!!

We decided to name the fish Tiggy, after Mom suggested Tigger which was modified slightly to differentiate it from the popular Disney character Tigger.  Car ride conversations can be very entertaining.
