My son made this in high school art class years ago and I found this in the house the other day and thought, why is it I still have this? I guess I thought it would be nice to save it at one time and well I still have it. Yes, this is the type thing that you find when you are stuck in the house for to long and start going through old boxes just to see what is in them. Is this a gold fish with a really big mouth? I'm not sure what he was trying to make exactly. Have to found anything odd in your house or maybe something you forgot you were hanging on to that you're not sure why?

We actually cleaned a closet shelf a little today and found a plastic bag full of unopened glowsticks and poppers. (Little things you throw to the ground and they make a pop sound). We thought we had used them all two summers ago.

I have something a bit like that but it's meant to hold loose salt. The bottom 'lip' turned up more to hold the salt in. Perhaps you should ask you son if it is meant to be anything special.

@Bensen32 I don't suppose everything has to have a purpose.

it does look like that. is it made of clay? maybe it's supposed to go in an aquarium, a place for the fish to hide in?

I am almost afraid to start opening up old totes. Not sure what kind of fish that is, but considering its origin, I think it is a keeper.
