Need Some Parenting Help Here...

I’m facing a huge parenting conundrum. Ok, maybe huge is a bit too much.  Let's say a large conundrum.   Baby Boy’s fish died and I’m not sure what to do. Do I tell him? Do I sneak in a replacement? Do I let him discover it on his own? Do I ignore it and pretend he won’t notice?  (Let’s be honest, he’s 7 and it’s a fish he forgets to feed, so he might not.  However his sister’s fish, who she also forgets to feed, is still roaring away, so…) I know, I know, it’s the whole circle of life thing, but still.  It’s one of those traumatic moments for a parent.  When I went to feed them this morning, fish not kids, it was a wee bit gut wrenching.   That fish and I have been through a lot.  Like me cursing while cleaning his tank. But I digress. Have you gone through this? What did you do?
