Object lesson #5003...Do not hand feed a turtle...

...and by hand feed, I mean don't feed it your hand as middle children tend to do. For some unknown reason, the child was hand feeding a box turtle carrots (kept nicely by the children down the lane...) when the carrot dropped and the turtle grabbed the finger instead. Said turtle didn't feel like letting go of dinner, so child freaked a bit. Alls well as ends well - little bandaid, skin cream and away we go.

Now if the hare would only listen about underrating the toroise's speed...
