Aquarium Desp Things
Note: Some of these are obvious - Drinking casually all morning before going in, and when you get there, have your boy drink a large drink [30 ounces or more.] Slowly go through, and sit down often to appreciate the animals. - When you notice your boy stepping foot to foot, find one of the tanks with a waterfall. Have you two stand by it for awhile, and point out all the fish - Aquariums usually have signs explaining the fish in their tanks, if it’s smaller. Allow your boy to read these signs. - Aquariums have gift shops, so have your boy pick out something he wants before leaving. Give him a budget to stay by, because some gifts he wants will cost more. If he’s been good: maybe get him gifts he picked up before but didn’t get because it was above the budget you have him. - For extra fun, make him have to find something between a dollar limit. Something $20-30, and he can’t get anything below it. This will make the task more tedious. - If your boy is excitable about underwater creatures, make sure to spend a long while watching the animal he’s excitable about - Some aquariums have Stingrays [water pancakes] that they allow you to pet! Make sure your boys hands are really clean and have him pet the sting rays with you. To set an example, make him wait to have you wash your hands too, but make sure you take longer than him. Make your boy wait. - To have fun with your boy, find the funniest or coolest looking fishes and give voices to them. This may make him laugh and leak. - Before you guys leave, have your boy go to the bathroom to wash his hands. - Walking through the aquarium may make you thirsty, having lots of water around. Make sure you two stay hydrated. - If you have to pee, have your boy follow you. The aquarium will make him remember his constant need to pee: but watching you actually pee will probably make him squirm a bit more than any of the water he see’s around him here.
