We generally reserve our new blog names well in advance of actually needing them. In fact, we might actually have one referencing four children back when mama and papa were dreaming about how great kids are (we must have been gone when that happened). But if you've ever tried to find a blog name on blogger, you'll know that every single blog was snatched up in 2005, one post was written, and the whole thing was promptly abandoned. (Curse you, Bilbo Bloggins!)
So we set out to find something that was fun and not terribly boring. That proved to be fruitless for a few days. (Update your blog or let it go, Kenny Bloggins!) So we then took to walking around the house and naming random things and checking to see if that blog was already taken. Then we happened upon this guy:
Tattle Fish was invented by Henry on one of those evenings when Brandon was working late, I was trying to make supper, and everyone was fighting with everyone. Knowing that I'd probably send him to his room if he came in one more time to tattle on his sisters, Tattle Fish was born. Henry also created tattle forms on the computer. Circle who is being tattled on, X out who is doing the tattling, and circle what happened to you. This form only allows you to tattle on hitting and pinching, a rampant problem that I actually wasn't aware of. Needless to say, Tattle Fish has been a booming success for the one kid in the house who can read and write. I'd also like to note that Olivia is also included on the tattle form (she was over that night). But we didn't want to publicly implicate her in our insolence for all time, so we didn't take a picture of her name. But we're ready just in case.
