Really?
Aren't Crazy Hair Day, Pajama Day, Electronic Day, Movie Day, and Water Day enough? It puts an incredible amount of pressure on parents (and usually at the last minute) to be ready at all times with neon blue hairspray, properly fitting, gender appropriate PJ's, iPods up to date with the most current songs, water shoes, clean pillow cases and peanut/gluten/dye/sugar/flavor free snacks for 24 kids!
Who wears water shoes anyway??
Hearing she 'neeeeeeeeds' a pet for school is just about all I can take.
We are pet free for a reason. We've killed our fair share of fish. We've ended one too many hermit crabs. We just aren't 'pet people'. Caring for small, helpless beings isn't in our genetic makeup. It's a miracle our KIDS are still living. Obviously, Lady May hasn't figured that out yet and spent most of the afternoon lobbying for a fish.
What started out as a proposal for a single 5 cent goldfish in a jar has turned into an aquarium with rocks and plants and palm trees and caves and fish that glow in the dark. To top it off, she made 24 copies of this little number so her class could vote on names for her new pets:
Did you notice the fish are now homeless? How do you argue with that?!
I think we just might have to get another fish.
So, tell me: Does this constitute premeditated murder?
