Very cute and fun, Anna. You leave the door wide open to more since the ending is pretty much open ended. I like how the fish feels he was stupid for not knowing Clark is Superman. Join the club, as Lois would say.

Very funny, Anna! I think you gave Kay a wonderful personality, and the glimpses we got of L&C's family life was really nice, too. I'm glad you didn't get rid of this story! There's always room for an interesting new voice in fanfic.

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."

"I have a...."

Nice work, Anna! I love these clever details! The fish each have a number -- cute! The arguing kids certainly ring true.  That's one smart fish! 
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

Lois: Can I go?
Clark: No.
Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go.
Clark: Then why do you ask?
Lois: I’m trying to be nice.

This was so cute! I loved getting a fishy story plus a bunch of L&C stuff, too. I hope she doesn’t share his racist opinions about fish.  That was too funny. Jen

Hey Anna!
I really like this story of yours. Very original idea. I also like the way you made 0049 aka Kay human to us, like he's the Kents' personnal psychologist, but also considered like a real Kent family member.
An interesting (ring) eye into Lois & Clark everyday family life, with all the implications of it...LOL on the kids arguments and struggles of their ages, so real!
will there be a second part of this special goldfish adventures?

Cute idea seeing the Kents through a fish's eye.
I do wonder about Lois and Clark naming a child Alex. It is sooo close to Lex.
But 0049 aka Kay is fun.

Absolutely adorable, Anna! Cute, very clever, witty - downright hilarious at points. I loved the fact that fish have numbers not names, the way that Tommy understands Kay, all Kay's little acerbic asides, the fact that he thought Lois was cool and hated Clark on sight - that was a very funny reversal. Too many great lines to quote here - I loved this and certainly won't object if we revisit Kay and the Kents again at some point! LabRat

Wow! Thank you all for your wonderful feedback. You leave the door wide open to more since the ending is pretty much open ended. will there be a second part of this special goldfish adventures? I loved this and certainly won't object if we revisit Kay and the Kents again at some point! Really? You make me feel so glad/me is happily grinning. So, maybe I will, when I finish one or two of the fics I'm now working on I do wonder about Lois and Clark naming a child Alex. It is sooo close to Lex. Hmm... I hadn't thought about it. But I can give two explanations: 1) "Alex" in Greek means "not Lex" (I'm not kidding!!) 2) Alex is just a short version of his whole name. His whole name is Alexander Samuel Kent. See you all soon and thanks again. AnnaBtG.

Hey I really liked this story! Which is odd considering I typically don't like any stories having to do w/ Lois & Clark's future family. But you put a new twist on it, and made it enjoyable for me! Keep up the great work!

Clark: You are really high maintenance, you know it?
Lois: But I'm worth it.
Clark: Not exactly what you had in mind, huh?
Lois: Let's see. So far I've been given a glimpse of ritual crop worship, been treated as your girlfriend, and insulted your parents. No, I couldn't have planned this.
