The surgery center where Dylan had his tubes put in had a giant fish tank. And the kid was mesmerized by all the fishies. That gave me the bright idea to get him a gold fish. So last weekend, our little family went to Petco, and $50 later, we walked out with Dylan's brand new gold fish.
And three hours later...he was dead. I killed him, while Dylan was napping. Poor guy never even got to see him. I set everything up after he was asleep.
Part of the $50 was a brand new little tank, food, rocks, and a dragon and castle to go inside. NOBODY said a word to me about buying drops to treat the water.
So there you have it...I killed poor little no-name fishy in record time. And you wonder how I am responsible for a 19 month old and 2 dogs.? :-)
Oh, and we will be replacing the fish this weekend. Apparently you have to treat the water first before dumping the fish in.
hey, don't be so hard on yourself...WHO KNEW???
