He was dead when I came downstairs this morning. The boy hasn't noticed yet, nor will I go out of my way to point it out to him. |

Finally

Why is it that my first impulse was to laugh out loud, and Mrs. George says, "What's so funny and why aren't you on the way to work?? Heartless bastard, I am. |

I didn't get a chance to respond in the previous thread, but yeah, that's what normally happens. Have you considered pulling the ol' switcheroo? |

You should sue the science school for the emotional distress caused - anything else would simply be un-American! If you don't, I will. I'm completely traumatised. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

Poor little fish. I kind of hope (sorry fishies) that several others also kick it, and that all the parents give the school a bit of grief about this. It was a really irresponsible thing to do. |

Well, that was fast. I bet some other parents found the same this morning. Still might want to suggest to the school to skip this take-home portion of the experience. |

Mushy peas & with proper British chips? Seems like it might be a bit on the small side, but I s'pose for an appetizer. Had you already bought a tank or is problem now solved overall? Is a beta on the horizon? How did small take the news? |

Fish actually suffocate if they rest. Wishing a fish to rest in peace is sort of like wishing a person to drown in peace. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

If you phrase it in the past tense, that would fit for this case. |
