I won a goldfish.

le needed gravel in the bottom of
br color and interest. He needed a
ge ceramic castle to swim in and
t of to take away the boredom. He
ded a filter system to keep the
; clean and take away the ickies.
needed plastic trees and under-
ater foliage that made the ickies in
: first place.
ie needed little friends to keep
company so he would think he

service daily to feed him and scoop
out with a net any foreign objects
floating on the water.
For what we paid for the fish, we
could have bought our own glass-
bottom boat and cruised the warm
waters of Hawaii.
The fish lived in opulence for 12
days before it went to that big
aquarium in the sky.
We told our son it would be a cold
day in Phoenix before we were ever
that naive again.
As I snapped back to attention in
the pet store, I overheard my hus-
band say, "We’d like to buy a bird.”
He needed a cage, of course. He
needed a little plastic box to hold his
food and water. He needed vitamin
supplements, plus a little plastic
tube to hold his snacks.
He needed a little ladder for
aerobics, a little ring to swing back
and forth on. He needed a little ball
with a bell in it and a mirror to make
him think there was someone else in
the cage to sing for. (He would even-
tually have sex with his own feet.)

He needed a radio nearby that would
play and give him a feeling that
somone was talking to him all the
time. He needed a cover for his cage
to regulate his sleeping hours.
As we carried the bird and all the
accessories to the car, I couldn’t
help but remember the promise we
made 15 years ago.
To tell the truth, I never thought it
could get that cold in Phoenix.
