"Turtle Shopping?!" I said.
"I hate turtles. Have I ever told you about the time I was attacked by a turtle? It would give you nightmares for a week. I was biking in Lanesboro and stopped to tie my shoe. I looked up and ten feet away I saw a turtle with rabies staring at me. Foaming at the mouth. We locked eyes and I knew that the end was very near. My life flashed before my very eyes. It let out an awful roar and then it charged. It was the longest 2 hours of my life, but I got away."
"Besides, do you know how dumb I would look walking a turtle on a leash in the campground? Not to mention the amount of time it would take to do that. Why not get a Tortoise? At least they are land animals." I said.
" A tortoise will live longer than both of us. They live to be 150. So who would take it after we are dead? Sheesh! Do I have to think of everything?" Lisa said. "Besides, that is not the kind of turtle I was thinking about."
We have about 20 turtles in a box here in our rig. We would share next time we see you but these ones only live about a week.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is what she is talking about.
DeleteWe’ll? Don’t leave has hanging! What happened next? Maybe you should get a snail instead? They don’t live as long and you could always eat them.
ReplyDeleteThat's what makes a good cliffhanger. You will just have to wait for the next season of "Dorks on Parade". Snails are slimy.
