fishies!
Today my little brother Peter and I went to the aquarium. In case you didn’t know I was a dolphin previously and am desperately in love with basically any non-pokey marine life.We went to the oceanarium (did they make up that word?) for the dolphin show right when we got there. Everybody was oohs and aahs for the entire half an hour. The way that they jump out of the water looks so effortless; I was ready to jump in with them. I love how dolphins make everyone act like five year olds again. They’re just plain cool.
So is every other living thing at the aquarium. You see people at the aquarium that you would think wouldn’t be interested in “nature”. But no one can help but love the Nemos swimming around everywhere. I saw a girl with fake horns in her hair taking pictures of sea dragons.
My brother and I took a picture of a turtle that looked like it was always smiling at you. Too bad hugging turtles is illegal because I would have if not for the glass in between me and our new friend, Happy the turtle.
The last thing that we saw before leaving was an old woman with all white hair and leathery hands giving a presentation from inside a tank, as she was scuba diving and feeding stingrays. Grandma!? It was bizarre seeing a woman that age stroke stingrays on the tummy as she shoveled meat out of her little bag. She also slightly resembled an alien with her mask on and her white hair all floating straight up. I can say to you right now that that is exactly what I want to be doing when I am 70. Exactly.
Lastly, I had to share the spoonerism that came to me on the way into the aquarium: Foosh pip. Try to figure that one out. First say it out loud five times fast, though, that’s the best part.
