Things that make you go "whut"

I have breathed a forty minute lifespan into my laptop ,
so maybe a short post about the joys of working with the young and thick innocent.

I work a double shift on a weekend and have a one hour break between shifts,
during one of these breaks we were talking about our best holiday memories,
mine was  scuba diving the great barrier reef amazing sea life and colours and seeing coral and sponges
in their natural surroundings, to which two of the younger girls exclaimed

"what do you mean sponges? why were there sponges in the sea"

Me: "because that's where they live before some one comes along and plucks them from their home for you to use in your bathroom."

The girls: "Ewwww sponges are living things and we wash our bits with them ewwww."

So I tried to speak a language they might understand.

Me: "Have you never watched SpongeBob square pants ? did you never wonder how they came up with the idea of a sponge who lived under the sea."

The girls:" SpongeBob is ace ."

They then had a discussion between themselves about how they didn't know that sponges were alive and how cruel it was to wash your body with something that was now dead, and wasn't it funny that SpongeBob was REAL !!

I was already doubled over with laughter when.

The blond one asked:" But wait a minute what is the green scrubby thing on its back is it a shell and why hasn't SpongeBob got one."

I laughed so hard I might have wee'd a little !!
