Okay, so there was, like, this girl, right? Two, four years old. She was talking/whining/babbling to her father about getting a puppy, so of course I was interested, having always wanted a dog myself. However, her father instead managed to tell her that she could have a dog when she was older, 'cause it turns out that they were getting a goldfish today, and if she took care of it for a while without killing it that would mean she was responsible.

So, yeah, she liked this idea. But then, she says, and I quote;

"And when I'm done with the goldfish, we can give it to the poor and I can get a puppy!"

NO.

I mean, she's little, but you can't be done with an animal. Goldfish need love too! 

I can't rage to much on what little ones say/do. Because they are dumb and don't know any better yet.

If the kid was ten or something, yeah, maybe.

But hey, at least she wanted to give it to the poor.

And I am not really on the PETA boat for saving the sea kittens. But goldfish are pretty rad. They're a whole heck of a lot smarter than people think they are.
