Had a rough phone call with someone who is good at making people have a difficult day and while they were saying how hard their day is and how they don’t have any help, all I wanted to say was “Well… my fish died last night.” So I understand you feel overwhelmed and like nobody cares but… you didn’t have to come home to a dead pet that you had to flush down the toilet.
Bernie was even on the Dog and Pony Show website.
It was around this time in April, two years ago, that I received a creepy unmarked box. I just watched Se7en for the billionth time as well as a Se7en Muppets parody… so I was a bit paranoid when it came to opening this box.
Inside was Bernard… the ugliest Betta Fish in the world. A birthday gift from my parents.
For the past two years, Bernie’s been my desk buddy at the office… He doesn’t do much; mostly sits at the bottom of the tank. But, nonetheless, I adore him.
So Happy Birthday, Bernie. You betta be stoked that I cleaned your home today.
