Brycen has been asking for some sort of pet for a long time. Finally I told him if he studied and did well on his midyear spelling test I would buy him a fish. He only missed 4 out of 100 spelling words, which I thought was pretty good. Last week while he was at school I went to the pet store and got a blue betta fish. Brycen likes it a lot, so hopefully we won't have to get a dog anytime soon. Brycen decided to name the fish Rainbow and then we started talking more about the fish and had a funny conversation that went like this.
Brycen: Is this a boy fish or a girl fish?
Mom: It's a boy fish, the girl fish aren't as pretty as the boy fish.
Brycen: Then that means they are the opposite of humans huh?
Mom: Thats right!
Dad: laughing.
Mom: They told me at the pet store that these kind of fish only live for about 1 or 2 years.
Brycen: Burst into sobbing tears.
Mom: (Thinking oh great! shouldn't of said that) We can just get a new one if this one dies.
Brycen: But I only want this one. Can we do anything to make him live longer?
Mom: No, I don't think so.
Brycen: Where will this fish go when he dies?
Mom: Probably fish heaven.
Brycen: Will he be resurrected?
Mom: Yes
Brycen: Then after he is resurrected I'm going to buy him again!
