My mom came home from shopping this afternoon with two surprises. She bought me a new dress and she won me a fish. Her school was having a Fall Festival today and she dropped by to say hello to the kids. They pressured her into playing some of the games and after bouncing a tennis ball through a little round hole…she won a fish!
So, she hands me this cute little goldfish and says, “This is for you.” My fish and I snuggled for a few seconds and then I placed him in my bedroom. I was planning on going to Wal-Mart this evening to buy him some food.
Then, my mom broke my heart. I overheard her mention to dad that her kids really want a class pet and she’s thinking about taking my fish away from me. We have already bonded!
