re: #41 SanFranciscoZionist

‘Turtle marriages’ reminded me…last year, for their Christian Service Day, my class ended up doing a bunch of gardening for a local church. There were snails in the stuff we were spreading on the flower beds. I thought the girls would get grossed out. Instead, they began to collect them, pair them up, and create imaginary romances for them.

Another kid, passing by, commented, “They’re hermaphroditic. Why are you putting them in boy-girl couples?”

Maybe I shouldn’t ask, but how can you tell the difference between a boy snail and a girl snail?
