Let's try again....

Here is my confession....I can not keep fish alive....but don't tell Riley. I told her that her fish went to see their friends and that we can go and pick them up. Today we went to pick them up. Riley chose two fish and she named them Sara and Emily. Simon also chose two named Blue and Simon.

On the way home from picking the fish up at their friends Riley and I had a little conversation:

Riley: Mommy how do fish walk?
Mommy: Fish don't walk honey.
Riley: Then how did they get to their friends?
Mommy: I drove them.

OK, I know not good to lie to your kids but I just can't explain death to her yet.

Happy to have fish again....for now.
