Camryn has been asking for a pet since last summer, so today I gave in. We went to the pet store to buy a fish. Sixty-five dollars later, we came home with a fish, an aquarium, and a ton of junk to go inside for the fish to "play with". We've now had the fish for 10 hours and he has barely moved.....I don't know if he's sick or if there is so much crap in the aquarium that he can't move! But regardless, our turquoise beta fish, named Nemo, has filled our house with excitement. Camryn can't go more than 10 minutes without running back to see him, even though he still hasn't moved. She already refers to him as her best friend, and keeps asking if we'll really be able to keep him forever. And Dylan flips out if he walks by and notices that the light isn't on inside the aquarium. I never would have guessed that a little fish that doesn't even swim could cause such a commotion!
