Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said \You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.\"
She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to
tell someone!
