Determined to eat fish

This girl is a mystery to me in so many ways. Here is one example. Nina loves fish. She loves to watch them swim, she loves to try to catch them, and when she catches them, she loves to put them in a pool or a bath and swim with them. She holds them, cuddles them, talks to them and I've even seen her kiss one. And then she will stand right by Matt's side as he cuts off the head and guts it. She watches him as he disects the stomach to see what it's been eating. And she does this with so much curiosity and interest. So she has no problem building a loving relationshihp with a fish and then killing it and eating it. That seems weird to me, but who am I to judge? So anyway, when our family went out fishing last night and didn't catch anything, Nina was quite upset because she really wanted to take a fish home to eat. Matt, being the dedicated father that he is, took Nina out the next day to catch a fish to bring home. I guess they didn't have the best luck because these are all they caught:
You might notice the little worm below the fish. Nina lovingly placed it there in case the fish wanted to eat it. The dead fish. And to give youa little perspective, here is how big those little fishies are:
But that didn't matter to Nina because that girl was determined to eat fish!
