Thank you, that will save me from doing this whole experiment.

Oh no! lol Bet that was as fun as my 5 yr sitting on my bed saying "Mommy, I feel like I am gonna be sick" and then proceeded to do so all over me and the bed! No fish were involved in that experiment

Aren't kids fun! They help you learn all sorts of wonderful things.

Well Pastor it could have been worse and deadly to fish TP is only messy to get rid of.

Lol, yes it could have been much worse! I was expecting it to be lego, at least that would have looked cool in the tank.

Oh my - I can just imagine your initial reaction when you heard the first question! 

A friend of mine was taking a nap and his 7 year old son woke him up with a proud smile, saying, "daddy, I fed the fish for you". My friend immediately got up to observe his son's well intentioned deed, only to discover that his son had dumped in half of the container of food! His words, "worst mess ever to clean up - but I had to acknowledge that he did a good thing by wanting to help, so....I told him that the fish only need a little food, maybe to compare it to the size of their eyes, and that it was best to help with feeding with daddy present!". 

Glad you got the toilet paper out - I imagine it was a task and a half!
