Fish

My Mom's blue Beta Fish, Sky, has gone to the Big Fishbowl. There was no funeral service. There were no tears. My Mom simply said, "Goodby, Sky, you were a loyal and true Beta Fish." Then she drained the water from the little glass bowl he'd been living in and put Sky, his food, his plastic container for when his water was being changed, his fish net, his water clarifier, his decorative blue stones from his bowl into a plastic bag and tied it up. She brought the bag out to the garbage. She put the fish bowl in the dishwasher. And that was it.

My Mom said she will not get another Beta Fish but I thought it was nice to watch him swim around.

Please do not send flowers.
