I really love this! We never had a conventional pet at home, but we had a brief skirmish with the poor goldfish in bags of water & the sheer goofiness of sea monkeys. I remember the underwater astronauts & multicolor pebbles in the homes of others. Great funny flashback.

Thanks, Ellen. I've yet to try taking care of sea monkeys... but some day.
