Yesterday on the way home Gus spontaneously told me about what he learned in school “from a book”:
1. Sea snails have shells to protect them from fish that want to eat them.
2. Sea slugs do not have shells to protect them. So when a fish tries to eat it, a sea slug throws up into the mouth of the fish, and the throw-up is poisonous and the fish goes away. And also there are some pieces of tentacle in the throw-up.
3. The only way to kill a giant squid is to get a long spear and put poison on it and stick it all the way through the giant squid. It has to have poison, a regular spear will not work.
(n.b., for all you librarians in the house, none of this has been fact-checked!)
So that’s the news from kindergarten this week. The ocean is a dangerous place, chock full of poison and vomit! Be careful at the beach, kiddies!
