It's a classic story that I'm sure every parent knows.
As a reward for good behavior (perhaps you noticed the Chart of Greatness in a previous post) we wanted to get Vita a small gift. Vita wanted a kitty, but we thought a goldfish would be better as a first pet. We thought we'd simply get a goldfish, a bowl, and some flaky food and that would be that. Cheap and easy. Of course not.
Vita picked out a black Moor goldfish, and named him Dorothy. As soon as we got home from the pet store, we started to research goldfish. It turns out they don't do very well in bowls, and if you had one in a bowl you'd have to change its water daily. So naturally, less than 24 hours after getting the fish and the bowl, we were back at the pet store to get a full aquarium set up, and a friend for Dorothy, a traditional goldfish that she named Snuggle Monster. Here's Vita with Dorothy and Snuggle Monster.
Within a week, Vita was already pretty bored with the fish. Oh well, at least Anabelle seems to like them!
