I Buy Fish on Impulse!

So, so far I've have a weekend of being out of town. Coming home today from my grandparents, we stopped by the mall. My brother has a current obsession with ferrets and we visited PJ's Pet Store because he wanted to get more information about them.

Now as I quickly got bored with those animals, I checked out the fish section. Of course. I have thought many times that it would be funny to buy a fish one time and come home and surprise my mom. "Guess what? I bought a fish!"

Weelll... That's not how it happened. My mom if I could buy a couple $2 zebra something-rather fish. She wanted to go through with it BUt they are tropical fish, which means that they would need pretty big tanks and heaters to go with them, adding up to a big some of $s.

So I ended up buying the a Siamese fighter on impulse. I wanted a fish, so I got one! I've named him Nathan, aka Nate. You can be sure that I'll spend many hours talking to him. The picture you can see really doesn't do his beauty justice. My camera just could take it all in.

The purchase price was $2.88, which is a really great deal considering he's probably worth more than the $10000 bird I saw today. I don't know who would pay that kind of money... Altogether it cost a big more for accessories, but a good investment indeed!

I'm honestly so excited about my new pet! I'm seriously considering starting another blog called Dear Nate through this account. Didn't Anne Frank call her diary Kitty or something like that? Well this idea is even less silly (not that that was silly) seeing as I actually do have the fish. Well, just keep 'yer eyes open for that because it just might happen!
