Social Dilemma: I Replaced A Dead Goldfish With A Replacement. Do I Tell?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about housesitting a particular pet and what to do if there's an issue. Here's the email: Hey Jaime, I’m a long-time listener of the show and wanted to get the dilemma take on something. So I’ve been housesitting for a friend while she’s on vacation with her family. I’m watching the dog and feeding her daughter’s goldfish. Well, the goldfish died the other day and I wasn’t sure what to do so I went to the pet store to see if I could find another fish. When I got there I noticed there were a ton of goldfish in a tank that looked identical to my friends daughter’s fish. So I bought a new fish and replaced the dead one. They come home tomorrow from vacation and I’m not sure if I should even bother to tell my friend what happened. Do you think I should or just keep it to the dog and myself? Thanks ~ Lexi. I think I would tell the parents what happened and they can then decide how to deal with it. I don't think Lexi did anything wrong, but I think it would be wrong to keep it from the parents. That's my take anyway. What do you think? Let's help Lexi out and let me know on the TRY Jaime in the Morning Facebook page.
