Fish Funeral

Last night we told the kids that their fish had died. Both insisted on seeing & inspecting the dead fish which was semi-concerning... then we all went into the bathroom, stood around the bowl and as Brad was pouring the fish into the toilet, he asked them if they had any last words for the fish.

Henry: Bye Reeces. I love you.
Kyra: I love you Sammy.

This was the saddest moment of the funeral. Then they briefly fought over who would get to do the flushing (Kyra won - she put up a bigger fight) and both watched (with odd excitement) as the fish swirled around the bowl and went down.

Then they turned around, walked out of the bathroom and went back to playing. At one point, they asked why the fish died and could we get some new ones, but for the most part, the death of the fish was uneventful.

We are off to Disney World tomorrow - talk to you in a week!!
