limay is dead

owen had their field trip to a pet shop yesterday. i gave him money as advised by their teacher for something he might wanted to buy inside.

he was so excited last night when i came home showing me what he bought. a FISH! a gold fish. i noticed the stomach was already big, i knew right away that it was overfed. he and rinoa might have enjoyed putting the flakes the whole day. poor fish, i knew it's not going to live another day.

owen upset voice was waking me up this morning. i knew it. "limay" is dead. owen named it after their ate lita and maykee.

owen and rinoa experienced it for the second time. the first time, the fishes amazingly lived for almost two weeks in a small bowl (fishes that i bought very cheap along the road). they were also upset that time but i told them they were already old so we cannot stop them from dying. i bet they forgot what i told them before. owen was asking me this morning why his fish died. i told him that it ate too much, and it became ill then died. sigh, thanks that there was no follow up question. bakit nga ba mga goldfish can't stop eating when  they're already full? they just keep going 'til they become ill and eventually die.:D

but kids are pretty amazing, they have this ability to bounce back from everything. just get through an hour or two. give them something else to get busy and they forget all about it.
