A friend gave Lily 2 goldfish a couple weeks ago – Lily wanted to name them after the 3 good fairies in Sleeping Beauty – Flora, Fauna and Merryweather – alas we had to go out and buy a third one.
Well you know how it goes with goldfish, they usually don’t last long but who knew we would have to send Lily into the grieving process three times in one weekend. I’m sorry to say, Saturday, Fauna died. We sent her to the sea via toilet – to be with Nemo.
Since I had the bowl out in the kitchen anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to clean it out especially since one of them died anyway. What I didn’t know was that you can’t just take tap water that has set out even for a couple days and add fish to it. It’s kinda scary how there are too many chemicals in the water that WE DRINK for fish to live! AAAAHHHH!
I assume you can see where I’m going here – Sunday we woke to find that Flora and Merryweather had also passed on to the big aquarium in the sky. They too are now with Nemo, swimming freely in the sea that apparently to a 5 year old brings fish back to life! Who’s gonna tell her? Not me.
We are now proud to announce: Flora, Fauna and Merryweather…the sequel. Swimming happily in their bowl this morning – minus the chemicals and toxins in our tap water!!
Life is good in the little room in the corner of our house. Oh to be 5 again.
