Kenny's taken over feeding the fish in our new/old aquarium.
He remembers the ritual from the old tank in Japan, first smelling the food (I had him smell it once so that he wouldn't try to eat it) then adding the smallest pinch, then watching the fish eat. When they don't leap on the food, he exclaims, "not eating!"
