Before announcing to your very sensitive 5 year old boy that his fish is dead, make doubly sure that it isn't just having a long and impressive nap.
I learned this gem yesterday. I'm fairly certain my son will one day forgive me, but his mother may not. He cried for 2 hours and all for nothing.
Until next week, WTME
ooooh, despite having no kids, can I pass one on in this vein?
Should your child's hamster break it's back after falling off a ledge, do not tell your child that hamsters change colour when they die (the colour change occurred due to a soft hearted parent trying to home-euthanize a white hamster via box attached to car tail pipe). Said child may be convinced at the time, but when it comes up 20+ years later randomly with his fiance's family, you will DEFINITELY fall off the Christmas list that year.
