As my wife posted on her blog, our pet fish Nemo has passed away. I won’t bore you with all of the details; if you’re really interested you can read Kate’s entry.
It must have been sometime on Monday that it happened, but we didn’t notice until the kids were already in bed, so we didn’t say anything. I meant to tell them sometime Tuesday as soon as they got home from school, but I forgot. It wasn’t until we sat down to eat dinner, and I was munching on my fishsticks that I remembered. I wasn’t sure how to bring it up, so I said “Hey, did you guys see Nemo?” They ran over to look at him and thought he was playing like he normally did, but I told them he wasn’t. They didn’t believe me for a minute, but then they realized it was true, and they started going nuts, Michael especially. He said he wanted a get a new fish that night, while he was bawling. I hope when I die he waits a while to replace me.
Luckily for you *I* have some say to how fast he gets his replacement Dad lol! Just kidding!
