This is really sad news BabyGirl hadn't been back at her own house that long when she phoned me She was really upset " hi daddy ( sob) can you come over please ( sob) Morris had died (sob)" Poor Morris, a Black Moor Fish, probably been over fed lol I asked how she knew it was dead " He floating on his back Daddy looking at roof" ( sob) are you coming over now and see Baby girl" I suggested she flush it down the toilet " Can you do it please daddy, (sob) I'm so upset" Phone was on loudspeaker and Yvonne is on stitches " Hold on BabyGirl, I will see what Mummy says Yvonne said I better go as she sounds really upset, make sure she is ok before you come home " Mummy says I can come now so I will be there in half an hour " " Love you Daddy, tell Mummy love her too. Oh can you get me a jar of coffee and some milk and biscuits at the co op on the way here please Yvonne burst out laughing loud " I've got everything here babygirl so will just come straight there, see you soon" See this being a parent gig, it's tough

Aye, there really should. I will ask Yvonne what she thinks Maybe I can say a few words. Maybe I should have put it in the fridge until we decided what we should do

@Ineeddentures Fair point, I would give her one. Why I said what I said, these not play things. Some kids need to be truly shown. They will never make that mistake again.

Haha the coffee and biscuits request at the end got me, she knew exactly what she was doing. Poor Morris though, but you handled it like a good dad. Yvonne laughing out loud made my day.
