The fish...

We had our first fish tank casualty this week. While reading stories I noticed that "Peaches" the black and white striped guppy was floating belly-up. I hesitated to tell Andrew, but did and I told him we would have to flush the fish down the toilet. Andrew is a pretty sensitive little guy so I thought this might be a huge thing for him. But he really took it well and said "he must have been sick mommy".

Then he was a little concerned that the other fish would be lonely. Andrew started singing "One is the loneliest number".... how on earth does he know that song???? But since the frog and snail are there too and seemingly doing well he was okay with that. It was really sweet though. We may get a new fish to add back in to the mix in a week or so.

The next day in the car he asked if the fish was in fish heaven. I said I thought so. Then he asked if the snail would go to the same heaven if he died. I said I wasn't sure but yes maybe they would be together in fish heaven. Andrew response: "if Peaches got to heaven by being flushed down the toilet wouldn't Squeaky's shell clog up the toilet on his way to heaven??" That is a good question Andrew.
