Fishtastrophy

So some of you might know that over the Memorial day weekend our family took a trip to New Mexico to visit Brians sister Tanna. Because this was a spur of the moment decision, we were unable to get someone to feed our fish. And Because the fish was not an expensive fish, we decided to let it go and hope for the best. Four days later we came home and to our suprise the fish had survived. Emmalee was exstatic. The next day while I was watching the little girl I babysit, she stood up in the high chair, turned around and pulled the fish off the counter. The fish suffered a cut from the broken glass fish bowl and died. We thought this was ironic, but the story keeps going. Brian decided to replace the fish because Emmalee enjoys feeding it. He took Emmalee to a walmart and bought a little fishtank with a filter in it and then got the fish from the pet store because the fish from walmart have a disease called IC or ICK or something. He bought 2 fish, and set up the tank, then set the fish, still in the bag, in the tank so they could get used to the water. The tank started leaking, and Brian got mad saying "who makes a fishtank with a freakin' hole in it?" He took the fish out, still in the bag, but then got worried because he knew one of them breathed air, so he emptied them into a bowl and set them on the counter. We then left and went to the mall to walk around and take the tank back. When we got home, the kids and I went straight up to get dressed for bed and Brian came in to set up the new tank. He looked in the bowl and neither fish was in there, so he looked around and found that he was stepping on one and the other was almost all the way to the family room. They were both dead and dried up already. Suffice to say we took this as a sign we shouldn't get a new fish and it was a curse that our first fish put on our house. We said who cares and now have 4 fish in a tank with NO holes in it.
