Mama Exposed

These poor pitiful creatures suffer daily because of my neglect.

We've had these fish for 6 YEARS! And they won't die! I seriously clean their fish maybe twice a year. (Notice the furry scum growing and the lack of water. )

It wasn't always like this. The first 4 years or so the water was always clean and they were fed twice a day. We even kept them in the kitchen "so they won't get lonely mommy".

Now they sit in a lonely dark corner upstairs, neglected. We all walk by them a gazillion times a day and each time I am stabbed by guilt yet I keep walking.

Why can't I just do away with them? Flush them? I EAT fish all the time and don't think twice about the loss of their lives. But to flush these would be murder.

Today I deal with the fish!
