Now Taking Bets

The letter of the week is "F." In honor of this great letter, we decided to let Dylan get a fish. So, this morning, Dylan and I went to the pet store and picked out a Betta fish. He chose a multi-colored, half dead fish at first, but I was able to redirect him to the more alive fish. He settled for a large red Betta.

His name is Golden. (He just likes the name) Golden fastinates the kids....at least for now. I have already caught Dylan shaking the crap out of the bowl, laughing as Golden swishes around inside. I give him two months. Mark- two weeks.

You may place bets. For your convenience, his status will be updated on the right under "About the boys." The prize for the winner? You may purchase his predecessor. For now, Golden remains king of his castle.

my daughter's fish are dead. That was just bang on 2 months. they had survived a cracked, then empty bowl, one jumped out of their temporary home (a saucepan)a few days later and then a few days after that jumped out of the bowl. of course it was my daughter that eventually killed them - with washing up liquid.

pets are on hold for a few years I think.

5 weeks will be my guess for dylan's.

I'm thinking you should have designated "Fart Day" to celebrate the letter F and saved a fish...

My son just told me yesterday he inherited a goldfish. Luckily it came with an aquarium. He bought a bunch of new crap for it, including rainbow-colored rocks for the bottom of the tank (because he said the fish was gay and needed the surroundings to reflect that. I give it a month.
