I grew up before the movie Jaws so didn’t bother me as much. Thank you, Anne-Lise!

Ooh. I did not realize that seaweed stings. Nice to know. I have always been terrified of sharks, alligators, stingrays and jellyfish. Now I have a new fear. Thanks Kim.

seaweed, huh? I like this one, and the show of something unexpected at the end.

I haven't experienced shark fright or bite or seaweed, but the jellyfish stings my daughter and me got at a safe hotel lagoon were excruciatingly painful. I can relate. Very good Kim! : ) xxoo

Yikes! My dad almost picked up a jellyfish, thinking it was a ball. At last minute figured it out.
