Today, I bought a live lobster to have for dinner. When my four year old daughter discovered it in the cooler, she thanked me incessantly for finally getting her a pet. She now won't let "Mr. Shelly" out of her sight. FML

"What's for dinner mommy?" *holds up knife and smiles* "Mr. Shelly."

So delighted to hear Mr. Shelly has a proper home now, I hope you all get to enjoy this unusual pet for a long time. You are a great mother! When I was little I brought home a pheasant's egg, and my dad actually made a small aquarium/lamp contraption to hatch it for me. Surprisingly it worked, and we had the cutest pet in our little town-house for about a year. Then unfortunately a cat took it, but I still remember the wonder of watching it hatch and grow up.

here's what makes it worse: lobsters can't die of old age lobsters never stop growing you can theoretically keep a lobster alive for a hundred years but it will keep getting bigger and requiring more food.

That will make for the most awesome family heirloom ever. "You have a pet lobster" "yep it's my great grandmas, awesome eh!"

Look her straight in the eyes as you dip the lobster in boiling water.

Time to teach your daughter a harsh lesson about growing up. Buy her a kitten afterward though.

I'm pretty sure you have authority over her. Take it back, that's life
