I walk on the right side of Arnie, Gilbert on his left, and we all walk hand in hand into the aquarium. Arnie had just handed over the cash to come in and Arnie was jumping and telling me the creatures he wanted to see first. As we walked into the long hallway fish swam over to us, hovering and bumping into each other, as soon as Arnie saw this he ran over to the nearest tank wall and smushed his face against it. I cringed and went to step next to Arnie but Gilbert placed a hand on my shoulder and caused me to falter back.
"Let him have his fun," he said looking down at me longingly.
"But it's so filthy and disgusting, I swear I saw cinnamon pretzel residue on the glass," I say with a scowl. Gilbert chuckles and shakes his head. I shrug and turn around walking up to where Arnie shuffled over to. He was running his finger along the glass, an angel fish following it.
"Look he likes me, I want one," he giggles as the fish spins around.
"Maybe we can stop by the store on our way home and get one, only if you'll take care of it," I say side eyeing him.
"I will! I promise I will!" He claps turning to me.
"Okay okay," I smile,"wanna go to the touch pool?"
"Yeah! Come on."
THIS IS ALL I COULD THINK OF FOR RIGHT NOW, I will have a longer better part tomorrow done at around the same time.. Uh I was moving and I had volleyball and birthdays and I'm sorry.
