My husband started to clean out the turtle tank with my son the other day and as he was moving stuff around, he noticed that Shanequa, the turtle, was missing.
“Do you know where Shanequa is?” he asked my son.
My son quickly got out of his bed and ran to the tank. He looked around and didn’t see the turtle either.
“How could the turtle escape from the tank?” he asked his father.
The two searched all around my son’s room looking for the turtle, because it was obviously not in it’s tank. My daughter who was in her room, refused to get out of bed because she thought the turtle may be walking around the house and she might step on it.
Just then, my husband decided to look in my son’s laundry basket and low and behold — there was Shanequa! She was in her shell scared to death. He gently picked her up and put her back in the tank.
Hopefully she doesn’t do that again….
