We were talking about octopuses (okay, octopi. But the kids don’t believe me when I tell them that’s how you refer to more than on octopus). Somebody mentioned they squirt black or purple ink.
“They sometimes squirt pink ink,” a little girl said.
“Oh?” I replied.
“Yes, because this one time, when I was 14, I was with an octopus, and it squirted pink ink, and then we swam away.”
Somebody check her house for a time machine.
