#the sturgeon is saying bonjour because this happened in canada

[spirit-shroud]

i was asked to elaborate so

when i was 4 yrs old we went to this aquarium near my hometown (more of a research facility that had like. a few things for the public to look at, and a gift shop) and there was a sturgeon tank off to the side. i couldnt really see at the time but i loved fish so i was having a great time

so anyways we get to the sturgeon tank. i was having trouble seeing the sturgeons and it was inexplicably just... open? like. there was a convenient Viewing Hole for the fish for small kids and taller people could just look into the tank. i was tall so i opted for the open air. except i couldn't see. it was kinda murky. so i leaned over to try and get closer to the fish and almost fell into a very small tank with 4 fish that were almost as big, if not larger, than me, who were all bubbling to the surface wondering what was going on

fan art i made in ms paint of the situation ^

anyways as i almost fell into this tank by flipping myself over the edge i was saved by my sister grabbing my shirt and tossing me to the side

i guess my mom? or sister? complained to the staff bc the sturgeon tank was covered next year and much safer .

thinking about the time i almost got eaten by sturgeons
