Wow, the title scared me and I really was afraid to read for fear of implication into something horrific. This was an awesome read. I think you have a couple more years before he would really figure out that the fish wasn’t Swimmy I. Unfortunately, you will have to have the death story with him in the next couple of months considering those fish don’t last but a couple of months anyway, even if you take all precautionary measures. Good luck and keep us posted on what happens.

Grace raises a good point Corey. What are you gonna do if your son figures it out?

I think Seth has a great eye for talent. Keep on posting!

Just put the little one to bed. Didn’t tell my wife….. yet.
But he did notice the bowl was clean. I was nervous that he would notice the fish was different. He looked at the bowl in depth tonight when I told him that I already fed the fish. (Which I did.) He went to bed with no questions about the fish!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED……for now.

When I was twelve or thirteen, my little brother (ten years younger, so age two or three) went into my room and turned up the heater on my tropical fishtank.

I took care of those fish diligently. I loved those fish. (No, really!)

He made fish soup out of them. I was devastated. My mother replaced them, but it somehow just wasn’t the same.

I wish you much better luck with Swimmy II.

Thanks for reading it Jim. If it wasn’t for Seth might not have even thought of posting this.

Dastardly!

But incredibly funny, and a great read.

BTW – Seth sent me.

You know what the funny thing was Seth. EVERY OTHER TIME we used the water treatment. This time I forgot to. I didn’t realize that until I was on my way home with Swimmy II. Needless to say, i did put the water treatment in the bowl BEFORE I put the new fish.

Thanks for the reminder though.

Oh, and by the way, I just found out that they are going to be home at 5:30 and not 7. THAT’S AN HOUR AWAY!

Vicious! =)

A few drops of water treatment next time around should keep this from happening again.

Really fun read!
