Humuhumunukunukuapuaa


Pronounced: Hoo-moo-hoo-moo-noo-koo-noo-koo-ah-poo-ah-ah
This is the actual name of this species of fish pictured above. It used to be the Hawaii state fish, but it's "state fish status" expired...so now Hawaiians are working to get it reinstated.
They call it the Humuhumu (Hoo-moo-hoo-moo) for short.
Isn't that hilarious? Or am I just WAY too tired at 3:52 am...???

I don't even function at that time. And it is funny...but I have two young kids so we think everything is funny.

Humu even has a book and a stuffed likeness of himself! He's very colorful and cute in the book. Nico isn't ready to pass it on to Sonja yet! We have a "share with Sonja pile".
