Baby, Whale Sex
Revealed!
Not
another sex tape! was the first thought that came to my
mind when I saw this headline on MSN. Haven’t there been enough of revelations
about celebrity sex tapes in the news, not to mention the teen trend phone sexting!
Then my eyes jumped to another headline about the growing obesity problem in
our country and I made the leap to, What
if that’s what they’re talking about! Isn't it enough to have “whale” sex going
on in the privacy of these problem people’s homes…Why would they want to reveal
that?(Even if they are having a whale of a good time.)
But wait…Was that comma
after Baby just a smudge on my computer screen? It was! So then I started
wondering if the hormones from chickens had gotten into the ocean and caused
baby whales to reach early puberty. Baby Whale Sex Revealed! Just the
thought of that made my mind go blank (sort of like my mouth falling open and
nothing coming out of it). After all I had just spotted another headline about
how boys were reaching puberty at earlier ages like girls here in the U.S. and
whales are mammals too…
Then I read the
article. Congratulations to Mommy Beluga at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, it’s
a girl!
Pretty good commentary. Kind of takes you on a rollercoaster ride of thought processes and returns you to the boarding point where you should have been in the first place. With the advent of social media, our lives are pretty much in a "fish bowl" anyway and like the Beluga, we often find ourselves in over our heads and exploring new depths. Thanks for the comic re-reef.
ReplyDeleteMy best score was in the 400's and more than making new friends it has brought me closer to ones that really matter. The book is an easy read and one of those books that has a story but also has pondering points, things you think about after the story is over. Good books are like that.
