Final decision

Although I can see the funny side, I'm still a little bit cross after yesterday's Temporary Tattoos incident, but this didn't prevent Wilson thinking this was an appropriate time to tell me that he's reached his final decision. What he'd really like is a goldfish. 

"A goldfish? Just a goldfish?" I asked.

"Just a goldfish" he confirmed. 

"But what about the pony? The camel? The goat and the donkey?" I spluttered.

"Oh, they were just a bargaining position. I didn't think you'd really let me have a goldfish, so I let you negotiate me down."

I feel that I've been played… but I'm so relieved by the final outcome that I just don't care.
