Innocence Lost

It was well over 30 years ago. But sometimes, when I think about it... it still bothers me.

The sea monkeys... they really never did look like the picture on the box. I would watch them every day... wondering when they would start changing shape, when would they start doing tricks. The box said watch them do tricks. They never did. And they never would. Because they weren't actual monkeys of the sea. They were fucking little brine shrimp.

How can they lie to a child like that?
