Recently, as in this past Tuesday I purchased a beautiful deep red and blue male beta fish. I will note that I did ask for permission from my landlord, and they said it was okay as long as it was in a bowel and not in a fish tank. To let you all know I followed the rules and got a bowel.:) To get on with the story. It all happened when I was at Walmart the day before buying groceries. I happen to walk by the fish section and my eyes caught the sight of a beta fish blowing cute little bubbles at me in its little container. My heart immediately reached out and demanded that I save this poor little fish and give it a proper home. So my dear husband emailed our landlord that very night to see if it was okay if we got a fish, as we had a no pet contract for our apartment. They of course said yes and I got my fish. Once I had everything set up for the cute little guy I decided to post about my new fish on Facebook so that the world could share my joy. My dear Aunt Carla made a comment that the fish was not filling my psychological need for a pet but the immediate need to have a human baby. I at first denied this completely, and scolded my aunt in my head for being so silly. As I thought later on this comment I realized that my actions lately have indeed been proving this very statement. I have taken lately to doing an activity my husband calls Facebook baby stalking. I can't help but look at all the cute little pictures my friends post of their little bundles of joy on Facebook. Sometimes I even look at these pictures as many as three times a day. So yes my dear Aunt Carla, you do have wonderful insight, but when the time is right I will have a little bundle of joy of my own until then I will continue to deeply love my little beta fish.
p.s. My fishes full name is Cosmos Alpha Bradford or Mo fsh for short.:)
