Fish

Rex

Bettor

We now have fish. The boys each got a betta fish. Eric named his Rex. Jonathan named his Bettor. I really don't know how to spell Jonathan's fish's name, but he pronounces it "BAY-tor". Both are males. The boys discussed this am how each fish seems to have the personality traits of the owner...Rex tends to hide and is quiet. Bettor is more social and active.





Subconsciously, I think 4 of the members of our family see getting fish a chance to show the 5th family member that the boys can be responsible in caring for a pet, in hopes of getting a different kind of pet...you know, the kind that play fetch and like their bellies rubbed. I also think one member of our family is hoping that by getting fish, the other 4 members of the family will stop dropping hints on getting a different kind of pet.
