Turtles Are Slow, And So Are You
This weekend I went to visit my Aunt+Uncle in Queens. It’s a yearly or so trip I make so that my Mom will stop bugging me to do it for another year or so. My Uncle has a turtle. The turtle lives in a fishtank but likes to be put on the floor to wander around the house. I asked my uncle to take him out because I was curious to see what he would do. Sure enough the turtle was having a grand ole time wandering around on the floor exploring. I noticed that he was actually pretty fast, you know, for a turtle. So I said..
Me: You think turtles are slow but he is actually pretty fast.
Uncle: Yeah, he’s fast.
Me: Crushing the stereotypes.
Uncle: What stereotype?
Me: You know, that turtles are slow.
Uncle: Huh? There’s no stereotype that turtles are slow.
Me: *head explodes*
