Introducing Leopold

Me: hi

Little Sister: HI

i'm legit

about to go to bed

BUT

i'll fill you in

i got a new fish!

Me: hahahahahaha

congratulations

did [friend] get one too?

Little Sister: yes

betas

hers is garfunkel

mine is leopold

Me: hahaha

nice

my fish was gustavo [I'll have to tell you all about Gustavo another time.]

Little Sister: but dad hasn't met him yet

i left him on the counter

with a sticky note

that says meet the newest addition to the family - leopold! hes the most handsome beta around

mom came home like 20 min ago

and i was sitting in a chair next to the counter talking to him

i love him

my little fishy

Me: oh my goodness

Little Sister: mom thinks im gonna give him a complex

bc [other friend] told me its a girl

but i dont want a girl fish

so im gonna pretend its a boy

but i told her i want to laminate a prince harry and put him in his fish bowl so he can have company and bc its prince harry

and hes beautiful

and mom reminded me its a boy

she really thinks im gonna give him a complex

and the stones at the bottom of his fish bowl are bright pink

like breast cancer pink

Me: actually i think they generally sell boy beta fish because the girl beta fish aren't pretty colors

Little Sister: oh ok good

i think its a boy too

bc it made a bubble nest

and only the boys make those

Me: what the heck is bubble nest?

Little Sister: its what they do

when they prepare to mate

it means they're really happy!

my fish is happy!

because he loves me

OK WEELL

going to bed

byee

Me: goodnight
