Ode to Vinny

I went and bought Vinny the week I found out I was pregnant. I picked him because he looked stubborn, and I was determined to keep him ALIVE. So many...ok all of the stupid beta fish I've had just killed over after the first week. This fish was going to prove to me I could take care of a baby. Silly, right? That was seriously what I was thinking when I bought him, though. Stupid Vinny really is just as stubborn as I thought he was... because seriously, he's still alive. It's been well over a year. Just last week Beck was sitting with dad, grabbed the fish bowl, and pulled it over. He started to cry because he was all wet, and Kyle went in to get Beckham into some clean clothes, with the fish still lying on the floor. Ten minutes later, he comes back, grabs Vinny, sticks him in a vase (the vase with my cute homemade flowers in it), and he starts swimming! He's seriously still alive after laying on the carpet for that long. I keep trying to figure out if there's some lesson for me to learn from this...who knows. Way to go, Vinny, you survived.
