Our First Casualty.

One of our guppies got a little too close to the filter intake and was trapped. I just noticed it tonight as I was feeding the fish.

I removed the guppy for a proper burial and prepared myself for the inevitable life-and-death discussion I would have with Violet.

While checking out her fish she asked, "Hey! Where's the one with the spotted tail?" and I told her what happened. Her eyes widened as I explained how the fish got caught and he couldn't get out, so I had to flush him. "I know, Mommy..." Violet said as she put her arm on my shoulder. "Let's go to Wal-Mart and get another one!!"

Kids. So easy to please. :)
