This past Wednesday and Thursday, My parents and I went on a mini vacation to the beach. Our skin was kissed by the sun while we relaxed in the sun and we shorely had fun dodging the waves in the water (pun intended). I used to be one of those kids that would want to go into the ocean for every second of the day, but this year, I've changed and I have allowed myself some time to rest and relax on the sand.
At a point when I was in the ocean, I was wondering to myself how many thing could be lurking beneath the waters of the sea; sharks, turtles, fish, octopuses, jellyfish, and many more. Some are dangerous and can threaten to sting, bite, strangle, or kill you. Scary thought right? Good thing we can't always sea them (yes, pun intended again). The reason we can't see them? Humans.
It's hard to see in the ocean because of all the junk that ends up in it. This ranges from pollutants such as oil to the urine of some uncontrollable people. Have you ever stopped to think of how much pee you're probably swimming in when you're in the ocean? Here's a way to check how much pee is in the water; when you get out and take a look at the edge of where the water hits, there may be a thin line of yellow. That's urine alright. Truly disgusting, but no one seems to care. Also, no one can help getting that salty water in their mouth or on their lips, so what ends up happening is spit flying out of mouths everywhere. So, to sum it up, the ocean is 15% water, 30% pee, 30% saliva, and 25% salt.
Sorry for putting that disturbing mental picture in your head, but on another note, my parents and I went out for dinner to a restaurant with very large portions and excellent food. When we were trying to find a parking spot, we found a car parked with a sign in front of it. Here is the picture:
If you can't see it, it says "Don't Even Think of Parking Here." What. The. Heck. It gave us a laugh and we knew we had to take a picture of it. After we took the picture, a guy that was cooking food in the restaurant shouted out the window, "are you guys taking a picture of the sign?" and we said yes. The next thing he said was "everyone has seen that before!"
So back to the ocean. My question for the week is...
Do you feel comfortable in the ocean?
ALSO DONT PARK HERE
