The only pet I had growing up.

So my parents could have dogs or cats in the house growing up, something about allergies and wanting to be able to breathe, weird.

So because of that, the only pets we had growing up were...drum roll....fish. My dad loved them, my sister loves them. I didn't. But that's what I had to do.

I also had this weird talent as a child, I could catch flies in the window. I was really good at it. And one time I was sick of being petless. So I caught a fly and I put it in a jar.

I took one of the jars mom would use to bottle fruit, and I put a knee high on top and screwed on the lid. I also put a piece of a sucker in the jar. And I had a pet fly for a week.

He lived for about a week, and the sucker was red. Looking back I should have found a way to put water in the jar. Poor fly.

But that was the pet I had growing up.

What is the most interesting pet you've ever had?
