Anyhow..Morgan took it pretty well, we went in to feed her the other morning and there she was at the bottom of the bowl, of course in my head I am freaking out b/c I think oh shit what am I going to say? So I tell her it looks like Princess isn't breathing sweetie, I think she died. She comes over looks at her and says she died and got sick. I said, well, she died which means she is no loger alive like you and I , her spirit left her body and now its an empty shell, just like when caterpillars change into butterflies. Do fish have spirits, who the heck knows but it worked in the moment!! OH she says, and very matter factly asks if we have to throw her away, I said well we can flush her and she will eventually go back to a river and be with other fish. Great she says, can I flush??
Later in the day she tells me its not the same without princess and she misses her, so we went and got Goldie the goldfish.
We hooked Goldie up with a big 2 gallon bowl, lets hope I dont kill this one. Morgan kept saying well at least goldfish dont die, I told well everything dies eventually but hopefully Goldie will hang out with us for a long time!
