Transcript:
Mom: Tell us about your first week back at school, Petey. Petey: Well- Petey: The halls are all painted different beige than last year. I hate it. Petey: My teacher arranged all the desks like the continents of the world as a learning experience. I'm in Antartica. Petey: And the worst is, our class nicknames is the Sea Cucumbers. Petey: Why do things have to change every year? Dad: When distressed, a sea cucumber can extrude its own stomach as a defense mechanism. Petey: AGH Dad: I thought that would cheer you up. Mom: Maybe you need glasses. Alice: I'd like to try that stomach thing.

No class deserves to be called the Sea Cucumbers! (Since when do classes get nicknames?) And while I sympathize with Petey, I kinda agree with Alice that “that stomach thing” might be fun….

Peter Sr. keeps trying . . . gotta give him credit.
His only success, as far as I can remember, was at the beach when he stepped on something that squelched.

If it’s halfway acceptable it’s hallway acceptable!

You’d think Petey would like being left alone in Antarctica. Although it is kind of cold there for a sea cucumber…

The only I’d learn from being stuck on my own in Antarctica is that nobody likes me…including the teacher.

I wouldn’t mind being called the kosher dills but NOT the sea cucumbers. I so hate cucumbers.

Poor Petey. The world is such a changeable place. Nothing ever seems to settle down.

Fellow Baby, where do you think Kosher Dills come from? :-D
GROG Premium Member over 10 years ago
I know exactly where they come from, Fellow Baby, but I can’t stand them in their natural state, but love them pickled.

Sea cucumbers serve a useful purpose in the marine ecosystem as they help recycle nutrients, breaking down detritus and other organic matter after which bacteria can continue the degradation process.1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumber). The sticky substance they excrete is said to have antibacterial properties; Les Stroud ‘Survivorman’ has said so. :)
