Megalodon Tooth

This kid loves sharks.  I mean really loves (and fears) sharks.

At a recent cub scout activity they had a megalodon tooth.  Riley is obsessed with the extinct shark species.

 I had to pat him down before we left to make sure that no teeth 'accidentally' got caught in his clothes or pockets.  I love it when my children make me feel like a jail warden...  

As we drove away, he told me that he really wants to get bitten by a shark.  So people would think he was cool and he would be famously linked to sharks forever.

I did try to explain that shark attacks can cause great long term damage, even death.

"I'd still like to get bitten by a shark," he said.

Of course.
