Do Fish Sneeze?

So yesterday we went out to Red Lobster for lunch and happened to be seated right next to a rather large aquarium, which when you think of it is pretty sick. I mean it would be like having a cow stabled next to your booth at a steak house. Alas, I digress...... So there we sat waiting for our meals when Gracy asks, "Mom, do fish sneeze?". Now normally I would just tell her to go and ask her dad but since he was sitting across from me snickering with a snide look on his face that option was obviously out so I just went with my old stand by, "I'm not sure, we'll have to look that up on the internet when we get home". Which got me to thinking, how in the world did our mothers ever raise us without the internet??? I am constantly getting online to answer questions, or find recipes or get ideas or to entertain the kids with a game. Our mothers never had that option. Which lead to a whole line of thinking down a really dark path that sends shivers down my spine even as I write this. Imagine your life without: a microwave, a dishwasher, the Disney channel, disposable diapers, hand sanitizer or steady yourself now.......PAPER TOWELS!!! Gasp! Shudder! Whimper! I honestly never imagined a world without paper towels until my mother mentioned it. I guess in my feeble little mind I just assumed that they were always around. Like Noah had them on the Ark to clean up after all of the animals, or that the cavemen used Bounty to help clean and sanitize the cave. How our mothers ever survived us is beyond me, but every time you use your dishwasher, or your microwave or a sheet of Bounty, call your mother and tell her that you love her. She deserves it! Oh, and by the way....fish can't sneeze because they don't have a respiratory system but they can cough when they get sand or gravel stuck in their gills. Now go call your mother.
