There was a 'touch pond' at Sea World. Basically starfish and urchins. Fun to touch until I witnessed Olivia 'chuck' a starfish back into the pool. Of course, Scott acted liked it was nothing. I was mortified.
At that point, it was tossed. Scott was just glad she didn't toss it on the ground. Of course like I said, I did the 'how could you let her do that' dance.
Kids always start out convinced that nothing they do can cause harm to anything they don't intend to hurt. Just be glad if she only kills off invertebrates; I didn't grasp the concept until my dad made me bury what was left of a pet rabbit that I seriously believed wanted to play with a neighbor's dog.
meh. Now if she had managed to get a few skips out of it, that would've been cool...
/window seat, please.
