Can we have a puppy?
-Nope
Can we have a cat?
-Nope, already have one
Can we have a fish?
-Yup
So here it is, the experimental fish tank, all yours (it WILL be cleaned by the former owner (teenager)) and it will be ready for pick-up/hand over/donation and or WILL exchange for a GOOD apple pie (none of the scary ones pls)
It was an experiment, it lasted a while, but it was a learning lesson for the rugrat on how to (or not) manage tasks, effect change, and have some responsibility… to some degree it worked (the fish lived for quite a while) and to some degree it didn’t (fish is no longer swimming in this plane of existence)
However, like all experiments it came to an end. The fish was pronounced dead, the tank barely 1/2 full, and the quality of the water akin to that found after a bad curry met a night on the town, and they ended up in the public lavatory…. You get the idea.
So, $25 or a good apple pie and we’ll call this chapter over if that works.
(The cheapest NICE tank here is $30, so figured $25 for a teenager cleaned version is fair)
