My kidlets came home about 15 minutes ago saying “I have a fish” I was like what. Kidlet 1 & 3 won goldfish at the fair earlier tonight. Kidlet #2 adopted a fish from another person who was already abandoning their “child” They each were carrying a bag with blue colored water with a lively goldfish inside.
I asked Kidlet #1 if they were getting a bowl for them. He said no they will be dead in 3 days. I laughed. I remember all too well my Betta fish who lived for 3.5 years with love and neglect and traveling state lines in a ziploc bag many times. These fish are going to live 
So I went upstairs to help them find something to put the fish in. They were going to use the measuring pyrex cups. I was thinking great I won’t be measuring till they are dead! Then kidlet #1 had got out a little square disposable dish. Kidlet #3 followed while Kidlet #2 got out the huge clear plastic cake dome lid. She could have easily adopted 4 more fish to go in there. She ended up switching to the little square dish too.
I was just telling my friend online that I have new charges. I said the kids give them “3 days” to live. I told her they are in little plastic containers….she gives them 24 hours! I was laughing hysterically! Great I have contributed to the potential death of goldfish because of the possible BPA toxins in plasticware! PETA is going to come after us!
Stay tuned for photos of LaSara Nicole Maguire, Toodles Tisha Sully, Megan Kelsey Amber blah blah some more girls’ name Sully. Please say your good thoughts for LaSara, Toodles and Megan to make it through the next 72 hours in their potentially BPA toxin laced containers.
*** disclaimer: I am making humorous jokes of all the BPA toxins concerns out there, I am not saying they are unfounded or should be ignored. I am just adding humor to the comments of my kidlets.***

Well, I left my beta fish at school over my few weeks off and asked our receptionist to feed him. Found out that during the first week, they killed him!!! What?!?! How do you kill a beta fish??? I was only gone for only a week at that point! Grrr……

I remember my Jack Dempsey - He lived in black water in a tiny octagon tank back home while I was off at college. I think he got fed once every 2 weeks. Somehow he survived, and was rewarded with a huge tank and tons of food and love from my friend who adopted him. “Jack” lived 6 years. I really thought he was going to live forever after his college experience.

I so remember Jack…he roasted in summer and froze in winter
Remember when he bit the eraser off the pencil? I was telling Kidlet #3 about Jack when we were at the pet store.
