My neighbour is so funny.

Her daughter asked her to look after her digipet (which in my time was known as the tamagochi). But she was too busy this morning to feed and play with it and somehow the pet fell sick and DIED...

My old pet died in like-manner. I fell sick for 1 day and couldnt feed or clear its wastes and hence my pet died of hunger and poor sanitation...

Anyway, my neighbour panicked and said,"If my daughter ever finds out that it died, she's going to cry again tonight."
With that, she quickly started to rear a New pet, "playing" with it every now and then while squatting at her pedestle. One sentence she said made me really laugh out loud...
"Later my daughter will surely ask me why the pet became smaller, and I will once again have to cook up a story to cover up the fact that the earlier one had died..."

PARENTS... Aren't they the most amazing and wonderful creatures on earth? =)
