Nice Try
Most kids want to have a pet growing up, and more specifically, they want to have a dog. However, they often don’t fully comprehend the responsibilities that come with having a dog and all parents know they’ll be the ones who end up taking care of him and cleaning after him.
It sounds like this kid knew his mom wasn’t on board and so he tricked her to think they got a goldfish. He dressed the dog as a goldfish and texted his mom, “we got a goldfish. Is that ok?” Of course, his mom was happy with the compromise and replied, “easiest pet you can have!” Little did she know at the moment there was no goldfish… what kid wants a goldfish?
