Instead Chase started collecting change he found on the ground. Every time he found a penny or a dime he would hand it to Michael and ask, "Now do I have enough for a fish?" The answer was always, "No. But if you do extra chores you can earn some money."
On Christmas Eve his great grandma gave him a small stocking with a 5 dollar bill rolled up inside. He pulled it out, marched up to Michael, handed him the 5 dollars and said, "NOW I'm buying a FISH!"
We've heard beta fish are more hardy than goldfish so we showed him the beta fish right off. "Nope. I want a goldfish." In fact he insisted on a goldfish and picked an albino one that he named Frankie.
Don't tell Chase but the fish only cost a quarter, so he had enough money awhile ago, but I'm saving the rest of that 5 dollars for back-up fish.

I like the Goldfish. Betas are so played out.
That's too cute that he went the lazy route and looked for money instead of doing chores. Averi is sometimes like that, she'd rather sell her Valentines Day/Halloween candy to friends than do five minutes of chores.
Hey, he knows an opportunity when he sees one! Why wait for all that chore money to build up slowly? Ily bought a bunch of stuff from her teacher at her class auction and then sold it to the other kids for twice the price. Whatever works!
Fabulous. Our goldfish lasted for years (and they were the .25 kind). That's a boy who knows what's up.
Hey, woman, get thee over to Rav, we are having a discussion about the January 19th meeting in which you must weight in! :)
Nice Fish, by the way.
Love that Chase boy and good parenting!
