i was never close to my stepdad until he took me to a waterpark when i was in 2nd grade. we went to see bubbles the whale perform cool tricks. show started out great but the trainer must've said something the pc police wouldn't approve of and before

i knew it, body parts were flying all over the place. bubbles looked really distressed. the other trainers dove in to get the situation under control but it turned out to be a huge mistake. one guy ended up like beef jerky that got microwaved for too long. i've never heard so many children crying in unison. good thing the staff provided everyone in the front row with raincoats and umbrellas. dry cleaning bill would've been insane. probably would've gotten pulled over by the cops on the way home and asked to pop the trunk but still, it was one of the most meaningful days of my life because i was finaly able to see eye to eye with stepdad. i never heard anything from bubbles after but i'm forever grateful
