Before my twelfth birthday, I walked over to the store my grandparents owned, where my dad worked the meat dept. There was a tank of little fishes, twelve of them, the pet kind. I asked him what they were for, and he had me convinced they were being raised to sell in the store....as in, as meat. Boy was I surprised to get them for my birthday....
