Stages of Responsibility

So I was talking to my friend Lauren at work when she informed me about the stages of responsibility you must complete before having a baby. In this order, you must care for a plant, fish, cat, dog then baby. It made me think about all the living things Brent and I have cared for. . .

Plants -- My philosophy on plants is whatever the summer heat doesn't kill I will let the winter freeze. It took us a couple of season to realize plants need water on a regular basis.

Fish -- We once bought a beta fish --- Frankie -- and he banged his head against the rocks until he died. It was so weird because he did it on purpose. I have never seen a fish do this. He lasted about 6 days.

Cat -- I skipped this step. The first cat I owned as a child was eaten by a dog. I still miss that cat.

Dog -- We love our dogs, but apparently they are obese and depressed.

Baby -- I hope we will have more luck with this one!
