So, I took my kid and my cousins to the beach a couple weeks ago. We looked at the tide pools and found the norm. Anemones, tiny crabs, and we stumbled on a tiny sea star. One of the little picked it up and immediately grabbed it and started pulling it out of the water. Grabbed his hand and we gently set it back down.
We talked for a minute about why we leave the animals where they are. His response to it all? Basically, we leave the animals in the water where they can breathe, because we wouldn't want animals in the ocean to pull us in the water, where we can't breathe.
I laughed because, yeah, that's pretty much it. Kids have a different way of looking at things. Cool, and he gets it. Now I'm sitting here thinking about how his mind got there. What a trip it would be if something legit pulled me underwater, just to have a closer look. Maybe I don't want to start surfing again. 😅😂
