Sarah: Turtle Feelings

Blake and Lisa have a cute little turtle named Petunia. It is a common belief among those of us who know Miss P that she is a turtle of exceptional intelligence. She can also be very moody. When still new to the Blake and Lisa family, Petunia seemed to become jealous when Blake ignored her in favor of Lisa. She would sometimes be sulky, etc. I thought of Petunia when reading this Mimi Smartypants entry:

Maybe, even though they don’t do mirror-time, turtles nonetheless have all kinds of observing and commenting sub-selves. Maybe soon we will get turtle translators and turtle typing devices and then we can read the turtle weblogs. Do you think turtles would have lots of little jealousies and dramas, teenage-LiveJournal style? They seem placid but I bet they are seething with turmoil under the shell.

If Petunia wrote a weblog, I would read it.
