When I was about 6 years old. our entire family went on a vacation to Florida. We stayed in this condo that had a giant waterbed in the master bedroom. It also had an aquarium with all sorts of expensive tropical fish.
I thought that all the fish were sad because they had to live in a tiny aquarium, and that they would be much happier in a larger space. I didn't want to put them in the ocean, for fear of them getting eaten by sharks.
It was only 2 weeks after we had left that the manager had been sent up to investigate an ungodly stench in the master bedroom. Seems I had thought that the fishes would have been happier swimming free inside the waterbed!
