When I was about 7 or so, I can remember my older next door neighbor selling my best friend a water bug for $5, telling him it was actually a baby Turtle. I had a bit of a swamp in my backyard, so I was quite accustomed to seeing those giant waterbugs at the time, and I told my friend repeatedly that it wasn't a turtle, it was a frickin' waterbug! He didn't believe me, and I can remember going over to his house a few days later, and seeing the waterbug in a fish bowl on top of a shelf in their living room. Good times, man, good times!
