I am happy to say that we all made it back from camping at the beach, and not one person was eaten by a shark. One of my biggest fears is sharks, and we live in an area where great white sharks are very common. This of course makes me a nervous wreck any time we get close to any body of water, and that include pools. EVEN POOLS! I always worry that some crazy person is going to put a bull shark in the pool while everyone is swimming. I didn’t say I had a rational fear. I will watch Shark Week on TV just to prove my point that sharks are a threat. My oldest basset argues with me all the time that sharks aren’t bad, but he doesn’t have kids and hasn’t developed any irrational fears yet, so yaaaa. Come here kid and let me tie my apron string a little tighter around your arm.
