Default Funny Things Kids say about your tank?

I thought I would post a couple funny things our very young generation have asked or commented on at the store about this hobby.

1) There was one young lad that was looking attentively at one of our fish tank's overflow and asked;
Is that a shower for fish?

2) This one nearly went over my head but caught on to it later. A young girl was looking in our display tank at a Regal Tang and said;
My Dad calls our fish like that Hunky. (hunky dori)

3) After explaining that a certain fish came from near Australia A young girl said;
Wow that was one long swim.

Anyone or other vendors have something funny to add please feel free.

Kevin

My niece once said: "I guess fish never get thirsty, do they?"

My 5 year old son: "Daddy ? Are fish smart ?"

Me: "Errr....well, not smart like you and I, but they're intelligent to a degree"

Son: "Then why do they pee in the water they drink ?"

A lesson on what skimmers do followed.

This was from an adult I was showing my tank to a few years ago. After spending a while looking in the tank and pointing out the bubble algaes to me, they said "too bad saltwater doesn't have the colors that freshwater does".

Art and I looked at each other.. And decided it just wasn't worth commenting on. hey whatndoyounexpect from a "freshie".
