Last weekend, when I was cleaning out the garage, I noticed a small, musty ziploc bag. In this bag were two packets of Sea Monkey vitamins and one packet of "Cupid's Arrow," apparently some sort of aphrodisiac for Sea Monkeys. Anyway, the point is, Sea Monkeys! I remember them! I got the whole Sea Monkey kit when I was around 10 and I distinctly recall how nothing hatched. It was very disappointing. Now that i'm older and wiser (harr) I should be able to grow these damn shrimp, right? I went to Toys r Us to find a Sea Monkey kit. When I asked the guy where the Sea Monkey kits were, he gave me a clueless look and asked me "whaaa? Sea Monkeys? what the hell are they?" He thought I was kidding. I made him look them up on the inventory and, lo and behold, the store had 6 in stock. He eventually found them for me and I bought one.
Now, a week later, I have a whole colony of disgusting Sea Monkeys in a little aquarium made for them. I never realized how ugly these things were. They're white, squiggling little maggots with whisker-like things sprouting from their head and...and...blech. I have a million of them in my tank. Go Me. My mom suggested that I just throw them away, but I feel guilty for throwing these millions of Sea Monkeys down the toilet when the instruction booklet distinctly says that these "special" shrimp aren't capable of living anywhere besides their aquarium. I'd be essentially commiting homicide. Well, shrimpicide. One million times. They can't help it if they're ugly, and they're only babies. Maybe when they become adults (they grow to 3/4") I won't feel so guilty. In any case, I won't be using the "Cupid's Arrow" to help the Sea Monkeys mate. That would be disgusting.
Oh, I have a good idea. I can feed them to my turtles. I know the turtles will have fun trying to catch them in the water.
