A watery grave

Well, we had another death in the family...Colin's fish from FFF. He woke up, went to feed it and said, "mom my fish is still sleeping!" I knew in that moment fishy was not actually sleeping but really hoped it was! Sure enough he/she was floating! I informed Colin it had died which sent him running in tears! He couldn't watch me flush it, which brought back a funny (but not at the time) memory of you flushing a fish. Stacey and I were in the bath tub, mom was bathing us, and you came in, dumped the fish down the toilet and flushed it. All with your two horrified daughters sitting there wondering what their heartless father was doing to their poor fish!!! We were pretty mad at you, and if my memory serves me right, you took us to petco later to get a new one. Oddly, I don't remember that fish's funeral! Hehe So all of that to say, to avoid being scarred for life like I am, I didn't let Colin see fishy get flushed. And now, I too have to go to petco to get him a new fish! Oh how funny life is!
