Welcome Home Peter Parker

After soccer games we go out to this little diner for breakfast and coffee. Well, next door to the diner is a new pet shop. Somehow we found ourselves in the pet shop after our pancakes looking at fish. No, Daniel has never had a pet. In his new school they have a class pet. He is a guinea pig named Fluffy who escapes on a regular basis. He also bites, so they don't really play with Fluffly too much.

So, I figured a pet would be a good way to start teaching responsibility. We settled on a fish. Daniel picked out a beautiful red and blue beta that he named Peter Parker - because he is the same colors as Spiderman. Now Daniel gives me daily updates on Peter Parker's mood. Apparently last night he was sad, but this morning he was happy again. We're still fighting over whether or not Peter Parker will be making an appearance at show and tell on Friday.
