save some space.
"The great thing is, if one can, to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions in one's 'own' or 'real' life. The truth is, of course, that what one regards as interruptions are precisely one's life." - C.S. Lewis

Gillbert
The other day, Emma and I went to the pet store, she'd never been. Her favorite part was the birds; mine, as usual, the teddy bear hamsters. Instead of purchasing a bird or a hamster however, we bought a fish. A red Beta, which Emma named Gillbert. I thought this was clever naming, considering fish have gills, but I think she named him after an ancestor of ours, which I guess show's more cleverness, considering she's five. I've always felt a little guilty buying fish. You confine them to a small bowl and furthermore, it's glass, making it impossible for them not to constantly watch their captives everyday life. Nevertheless, he's sitting on my table, looking what I think to be happy, but how can you really tell with a fish?
