Well, I'm not really sure there is a Godly lesson here. Just a life experience.
Emma decided she wanted to go ahead and pay for a new fish tank. She didn't have enough money so she's having to work off the remainder of her balance. Since that left her no money to buy fish, Jaedon said he wanted to buy some for her. So, armed with his penny bank containing $1.95, we went to PetSmart on Saturday (yesterday) and bought some new 27 cent goldfish.
The kids picked out 6 new fish. We got that many because we figured at least one of them will survive and become the next Leena. Well, by this morning, one was already dead. Jaedon was more mad than sad. As we flushed "Bronco" down the toilet, Jaedon declared, "Well, that was a waste of my money."
That left us with five fish: Molly, Lisa, Charlie, Snow White, and Goldie. By dinner time, Molly was dead. So, now we're down to four.
And life goes on...
