[ WP ] A normal family goes about their normal lives in a very normal way . You are the family 's goldfish/pet . `` What is normal ? ''

The man was intimidating, but I liked him. He was very energetic, and talked with his hands a lot. When he came home from work, he always grabbed his wife and dipped her down before he kissed her. She giggled and squealed and loved it every time. He was also very good to his two children. He taught the older one- the boy-how to carve wood and shoot guns. He picked up his little girl and spun her around in the air every day when she got home from school. He was even good to me, never forgetting to feed me my favorite fish food flakes – Aqua Yum Yums. 
 
 Sometimes he did things I didn ’ t quite understand. He shot the family dog one time to prove a point, but he felt very bad after wards and cried and cried. The rest of the family forgave him, and so did I. I didn ’ t really like the dog anyway. One day the little girl was behaving badly, so he took her upstairs and she screamed for what seemed like hours. He must have hurt her very badly, because they were both in tears when I saw them next. The little girl didn ’ t go to school for a few days after that. 
 
 I thought he was a good man, but maybe I was wrong. One night he got very excited, and was explaining something to his wife. She seemed upset and slapped him across the face. Then he punched her square in the stomach and she puked all over the floor. He rubbed her face in it and they both cried. Then the older boy came up behind him and hit him with a shovel. I think he killed him because there was a lot of blood on the floor, and there was chunky stuff in it that looked like scrambled eggs, only covered in blood. 
 
 Since then, I haven ’ t seen any of the family. I think they left me here and forgot about me. It ’ s been a few days and I ’ m pretty hungry. What I would do for just a couple flakes of Aqua Yum Yums right now.
