Something Dolphishy With Your Theory

(My boyfriend and I are in bed, falling asleep. Our conversation turns to how it would be if different animals had wings and could fly.)

Me: “I was about to suggest flying fish, but that would be a bit counter-productive.”

Boyfriend: “Nah.”

Me: “Yeah, seeing as fish need water to breathe and stuff.”

Boyfriend: “Only dumb fish.”

Me: “So… all fish are dumb?”

Boyfriend: “No. There are smart fish. Like dolphish.”

Me: “Like what?!”

Boyfriend: “Dolphish!”

Me: “I have no idea what that is.”

Boyfriend: “D-O-L-P-H-I-S-H.”

Me: “Do you mean a dolphin?”

Boyfriend: “A dolphish. They can smart.”

Me: “You mean a dolphin.”

Boyfriend: “Why would it be called a dolphin? It’s a fish… that can dolph…”

(Later:)

Boyfriend: “A squish is also a thing. A squid fish.”
