Hisser, R.I.P.

They say cockroaches would survive a nuclear holocaust.

Andrew's pet Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (a.k.a. "Hisser") didn't even survive five months in our house--yet another victim of our family's inability to keep pets alive for more than a few months. Here's a photo of the sad scene we discovered in the boys' room yesterday:



Ginger: Andrew, Hisser's dead. Are you sad?
Andrew: Yeah, I'm sad. But now I'm ready to get a Goliath Beetle!
