Fishy Subject

Gun’s Quote-of-the-Week:

“I'm never having children with you again!”
-Katie Green

An introduction is in order.

Katie and I were RAs in Pickell Hall once upon a time back at my Alma Matar, Ferris State. When I was an RA, I had an aquarium in my room. Katie and I went to the store and I bought some fish for the aquarium and she helped pick them out. The fish were our "children."

Well, at the time, I was relatively new to aquariums and didn't fully understand which fish species would live with each other and which ones would, well, eat each other. I managed to pick out a variety of fish where my Tetras ate my Neons... all 5 of them.

When Katie heard that they had passed, she was, of course, devastated, and exclaimed the comment above to me regarding our future children.

...and may the record show that the fish I purchased after that all survived, even to this day.

Turns out it would have been OK if we had more children after all, Katie.

…and that’s why it’s a Gun’s Quote!
