Well, I received an e-mail from my mom concerning the care of goldfish. I went home this weekend and brought it up at the dinner table. I asked if she was planning on starting a fish tank because they would need 10-20gallons per fish, blah blah blah.
"oh no, I just wanted to know how to keep them for a few days" 8O
I asked if she was going to be giving them as a present because that is a big responsibility...
"well, sort of..."
Well sort of what?? She finally tells me she would like goldfish as center pieces on tables at her wedding next week! That their colors are perfect and she had this great idea to have them in large vases with those "bubbly-tab-things" and then since there wouldn't be a lot, she thought one of the families with kids might take them home... or that I would rescue them!!!! Good grief.
I told her she would most likely end up with dead center pieces but if she had to... then she'd need to do lots of water changes... and that I couldn't condone it.
My mom was a bit upset that I wasn't backing her up... especially for her wedding (and even more since I am her maid-of-honor). I felt bad, but I just couldn't say yes to the idea. *sigh*
