My child had a small two & a half gallon fish tank.
He got a goldfish at the carnival & he wanted the fish tank to keep it in.
I couldn’t get it up on the wall, since it already had water & gravel in it. I carried the fish tank up to his room & put it on his stand. Two hours later, I heard my child crying, & I went upstairs. He remembered the person at the carnival telling me not to put chilly water in the tank. He thought the water was too chilly & carried the water over to the air vent. After putting the tank on the air vent, he got up on a chair & turned the temperature control up to 68. He just wanted to boiling Goldie up, however now she was floating. I had to stop myself from laughing, however I didn’t know what to say. I told him Goldie’s floating wasn’t his fault. They offered old fish away. When the fish floated, adolescents would make their mommies & daddies come back to the carnival so their adolescents could win more old fish, but goldie was just a victim of old age. How could I tell him that the water was hot enough to poach a fish when the temperature was set at eighty. I was sure the abrupt change in temperature from being set on the air vent was part of Goldie’s floating, however that would have had my child crying even harder. My child eyed me up & then asked if this meant I was going to take him back to the carnival, & I said no.
