So fish #2 died today. Julia. She had been swimming around like normal earlier today, and later, I noticed that she was lying on the bottom of the bowl. I told Brooklyn and she seemed to handle it very well. I had thought she'd be a little more stoic than Jacob. She asked what I was going to do with her fish. I told her we'd flush it down the toilet.
She asked, "Can I do it?"
"Sure," I said and handed her the bottle with the dead fish.
The next thing I know, I hear a broken voice say, "Bye," and the toilet flushed. She ran into her room sobbing. I picked her up and held her and cried with her.
Man. It's just a stupid fish!!
At my next temple recommend interview, I'm complaining to the Stake Presidency about that stupid fish pond!!! ;) And one thing is for sure. We are NOT going next year. ;) ;)
