Not a pleasant title for a not so pleasant post. While the boys were doing their chores this morning, Mr. N found a not so pleasant fish bottom up in the fish tank. Poor kid. This is the second fish he has lost in three months.
As I mentioned this is a not so pleasant post. Mr. I also has a fish, Bluey-Boy. So, to make matters worse it just so happens that Bluey-Boy is the culprit. Yes, folks he killed Bluey-Girl. He was chomping at her fins the other night and we thought they were just playing around. When we found her, she had NO FINS at all. Who would have thought? I mean they had been living together for over 3 months. What happened?
The first thing from Mr. N's mouth was, "Well, now I know why they didn't have any babies together". We learned a lot about vengeance and forgiveness today. Mr. N felt like he should punish Bluey-Boy (not just punish for a time but punish until.... you know) because "he is a murderer". Very dramatic. Not sure where he gets that?!?
Of course, now Mr. I wants a new fish also because he is traumatized that his fish is a "murderer". I knew male beta fish were aggressive with other males but the note on the female beta fish label had only this warning: "Do not put with a male unless ready to mate". Apparently we should have checked out match.com to make sure they were compatible. Oh well, you live and you learn. We learned "Bluey-Boy doesn't want any babies".
