R.I.P

Here lies Jack (who was called Nemo until the moment she died).
Jack was a good fish. She lived exactly one day past the 14 day guarantee. She gave me 50 babies to worry over. She made me talk about death with my son. What a swell experience.

Nemo (who was called Jack until the moment the other fish died), shows no signs of sadness at the loss of the Jack (previous known as Nemo). He seems quite content to hog the entire fish tank himself.

Babies (3 are surviving of the estimated 50 we started with), are not looking good. Soon it will be commode-heaven for them as well.

Andrew's reaction? "Oops. Jack ate too many babies. Don't worry, the fish store has lots of other fish we can get. Is Nemo dead yet?"

Sensitive child, isn't he?
