Today we trotted out of the house to visit the aquarium with Heather and Sophie. Well, I trotted: Nora, as she cannot yet trot, felt compelled to perform the following:
Sleeping with the Fishes: A Silent Opera in Five Parts
Part the First
Strongly affected by the soporific combination of milk and a carride, our heroine [Nora Somerville Jorgensen] retreats to her chambers. Illuminated jellyfish mime a gentle lullaby.
Part the Second
Our heroine drifts into a world populated by coral. Lulled still by the jellyfish, she is unaware of the danger of an impending sting.
Part the Third
Our heroine is saved from the coral by a passing friend [Sophia Serena Florian Culver] and her mother [Heather Shannon Culver]. She remains unaware of the gratitude she must one day proffer.
Part the Fourth
Her friends drift on; our heroine encounters a new creature.
Will it prove to be friend or foe?
Part the Fifth: Finale
We may never know.
Apparently, the gentle light and just-above-room temperature of the aquarium make for the perfect napping environment.
We're getting a membership.
