J continues to help me when he can. I’m trying to teach him to do small tasks but occasionally his “helping” ends badly.
Unfortunately I have to leave him alone temporarily a few times a day to feed E.
Usually, he sits and watches Curious George, colors, reads a book ... nothing too destructive.
Tuesday was a little different.
J is allowed to feed the one fish at my mom’s house. Supervised of course.
At our house, I keep the fish food up high, away from the tank.
One time I had to fish out a bunch of sinking pellets from the bottom of our fish tank. I learnt my lesson.
Unfortunately C didn’t get that lesson.
He left the fish food on top of our fish tank.
Oops.
Big oops.
J decided to help me and feed the fish while I was upstairs feeding E.
The entire large sized bottle of flake food, at once.
He put the lid back on and placed the food back where it was.
When I got downstairs, this is what I found.
The white in the right half of the tank is food. Lots and lots of food.
C did a water change as soon as he got home from work, about an hour later.
I thought it’d be a mess but fixable.
Unfortunately, Wednesday I found all our lovely Rainbow fish dead. The entire tank. They died of gluttony!
What a shame. We had just gotten it the way we’d like about 2 weeks earlier.
Poor J. He loved those fish. I’m not sure when he’ll notice but I’m sure not going to bring it up.
Darn. Poor fish. RIP.
