Bird Brained, Part 7

(I overhear a group of teenagers talking while looking at the penguin exhibit.)

Teenager #1: “What exactly is a penguin?”

Teenager #2: “Are you that stupid? A penguin is a fish!”

Teenager #3: “No. A penguin is an amphibian. You know, like frogs.”

Teenager #4: “You know, guys, I think penguins are mammals, because they got fur.”

Me: *addressing everybody at exhibit* “The penguin is a unique bird that can ‘fly’ in the water.”

Teenager #2: *after looking at his friends in awe* “I still think it’s a fish.”
