No. We had fish as pets to teach me about death. It was a good tool for that. They don’t do that much more than die.

As I got older, I got better at keeping them alive, and cared more for them. I might have cried then. My pseudo-brother, Sam, and I probably accidentally killed them.. We built a sub out of office supplies and put a lego man in it (and attached strings to it) and made movies about “Deep Sea Man”... (I was a goof)

I did, however, cry when my frogs died.

I saw a movie once where a goldfish bowel broke to pieces upon hitting the floor, This made me cry until my mother reassured me it was not real.

Sorry, I mean bowl.

i bet if i go outside and dig a bit, i could still find a fish in a little tupperware container in my backyard. but i wont, because it will smell gross.

actually, i bet i could find a whole graveyard because when i was younger, i had a whole tank full of fish who i neglected. one was a mini shark, another was a koi, a few bigger ones that looked really colourful.

also, during the ice storm of 1998, my neighbor, who was on vacation’s fish died, so we bought a new one and dubbed it ice ‘98. it had several offspring, including ice ‘98 Jr., Mrs ice ‘98 and kin of ice ‘98 Jr. we were too lazy to name all of them so we named them “kin”.
