[Oh Haha]

Oh boy.

Jake wanted a clown fish more than anything. He has a 10 gal.tank with a few freshwater fish.

I paid him his cut of the job and of we went to Petco. He found an employee and announced "I have 60 dollars and I want a clown fish". "Tim" then proceeded to explain that it would take about $120 to properly set a SALTwater tank. Jake just didn't understand so I let Tim go into detail about how labor intensive a saltwater set up an be.

After about 45 minutes later it finally sunk in that he just couldn't have one.

We now have another hamster in the house. "Lightning" is Jake's new friend. He spent all but $8.

It was painful to see the disappointment on his face once he realized a clown fish wasn't coming home with us. Life sucks sometimes, get used to it.



BTW-I am taking the kids and one of their friends for ice cream tonight. I'll be buying. yay
