I am absolutely positive I'm not the only one who’s had some kind of light hearted experience with kids around the tank. There's just no way. Well it took me a few seconds, but when my 4 year nephew casually referenced, the “water pickle” at my sons B-day party this week I actually laughed out loud, for real. I mean it makes perfect sense right. Hear me out, it will I promise. A few hours earlier the kids were all wrapped around my little display in utter amazement at a big old black slug looking thing, sucking in sand at one end, and very hilariously “pooping” out a pile of perfectly formed sand pellets out the other. This guy stole the show completely. So I explained to them what it was, and went on to further explain exactly what he was doing and why.
If you hadn’t guessed it yet, this creature that had captivated them to no end, was of course a Black “sea cucumber”.
But in his mind, "sea" became “water” and "cucumber" naturally, became “pickle”. And I was utterly amused by this. So you see, Uncle Adam’s got a “water pickle”. And this got me thinking, I bet there’s a lot of funny stuff we have experienced with our kids and our tanks over the years. I'd love to hear some stories, even the ones bad ones if you care to share. #reef80 I’m kind of talking to you here. I remember the pics.
Let's have it. Anyone else have a “sea pickle” moment they feel like sharing?
