Animals checking in on me

It’s been two weeks since I visited the National Aquarium in Baltimore, a delightful experience you can read about here.
Looking at zoo and aquarium animals through a 21st century lens, of course, one wonders about the fairness of such an arrangement. Animals kept in captivity? Who do we think we are, right?

I had a long chat with an Irukandi jellyfish that day and we exchanged information when I left. Two weeks had gone by and no contact, so I figured that even though he seemed friendly maybe he really was harboring some resentment.

Yesterday I got a text.
It read, “Hey sucker…have a good week at WORK?”

Point taken.
