Why We Aren't Ready For Parenthood, Reason #39

Brian was out of town last week for three days for work. He flew to Seattle to pick out a laser...some engineering thing that's over my head. Before he left, he gave me one task: "Please remember to feed the fish. Try really hard not to forget."

I got it. "No problem," I said.

What did I do? Ate popcorn and ice cream for dinner every night and watched Friends. Late into the night. Every night. It was lovely. I finished season 1 and season 2. Awesome.

It was day three, Brian would be home in a few hours, and I noticed the fish were acting strange. About 2 hours later after walking past them again and thinking they were not being their normal selves, it dawned on me that I hadn't fed them yet.

We had two babies. Now we have one. Sorry, Brian!
