H, a few weeks ago you asked if we could take a fish home.

I nearly forgot to write it down.

The hilarious part of it is that we were at PetSmart – the pet store!

We had walked through and looked at the dogs that were up for adoption.

We checked out the cats.

And even stopped to look at the parakeets.

On the way out, we walked past the fish.

You said:

“Dad, can we get a fish?”

“You want a fish?” I asked as you looked at a tank of goldfish.

You said:

“Yeah. We can take it home. And put it on a plate. And eat it.”

All I could do was laugh.

You laughed too.

I am still not even sure if you were joking or not…

I love you.

–Dad
