I took my son to the Aquarium last night, and we were looking at the fishes and whatnot, when this friggin’ guy comes up outta nowhere and starts lecturing us on why dolphins aremammals and not fishes. Jesus! He starts carrying on about mammary glands and says dolphins and whales are covered in hair. Hair!!! Like they’re friggin’ Sasquatches or something. And little Billy (my son) says “Daddy, what are mammary glands?”. Thanks, captain. Now I gotta explain that to my 10-year-old.
I think that the guy told the truth. Whether or not you needed or wanted the lecture is the issue.
And your 10 yr old should be old enough to understand mammery glands. It seems to me that all you had to say was, “Mammary glands produc milk. Like cows, dogs, and cats the dolphin youg get milk from their mother.”
As for the uninvited lecture, I would have been a little pissed too.
