  1. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. 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 placed 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 entirely
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

  2. It’s nearly impossible to find educated people on this subject, but you seem like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
