Christopher the Gold Fish

About 2 years ago this same time, I had a sudden desire for a gold fish. I'm not sure why, but I just felt the need for a goldfish. A goldfish, named Christopher. 


I begged my mom for one for about a month, and then finally, FINALLY, she said that if I got good enough grades, that she would let me get a goldfish. I was so happy! Not only did I get to get a goldfish, but one of my friends had a fish tank that I could have, because no goldfish of mine would be living in any plain old ordinary bowl!No, my fish would be living in style. But when the school year ended, and I pulled 3 'A's and 3 'B's, my mom thought that wasn't good enough to get a goldfish. So there I was, with a tank, and without a Christopher.


But the summer went on, and I survived. But when school started up again, I forgot about the fish fantasy for a while, and made it through the year without many thoughts surfacing about my shattered dream.


Then, for Christmas, my friend (the one with the tank)decided that she would provide not only the fish tank, but also the fish for my Christmas present. I was so thrilled, and when she came over that day I couldn't believe that I actually had me very own goldfish named Christopher! Me and Chris have been living happily in my room for about 4 months now, and we're as happy as ever =)
