There’s Something Fishy About This Place

(I am lifeguarding at a beach. While going to talk to a child regarding some of our rules, I am stopped by a teenage girl.)

Girl: “Excuse me!”

Me: “Yes, what’s going on?”

Girl: *clearly concerned* “There is a fish in the water!”

Me: “Well, yes. This is the ocean. Fish tend to live in the ocean.”

Girl: “Oh… Wait, this is the ocean?”

Me: “I’m sorry. I need to go speak with another patron. Have a great day.”

(The girl then saw a fish again and screamed, before fully exiting the water for good.)
