I Like Turtles

I swear to you, someday -- mark these words -- someday I will be on TV and I shall answer a "What do you think?" question with "I like turtles". The hard part will be to not laugh hysterically. This kid nailed it. He's going places.

Also, Clipper Ships are pretty rad. I like those too.

Sorry, I think you have to be a little kid and/or at least partially insane to pull off that kind of straight-faced non sequitur.

Muahahaha, I can so picture Damien with that Zombie make-up :D

My theory is when he was asked what face paint he wanted, he asked for a turtle. He was told they didn't do turtles, so he picked something else, a zombie. Later, when the reporter asked him how he felt, he expressed that he'd rather had been a turtle.

He likes turtles...

@Damien,

People from Portland are freaky - I should know :-)

I think it Michael Collins almost nailed it... the kid does have a turtle shell look to the top of his head and sort of resembles a turtle. So it was the news person who made the mistake of assuming he was a zombie and her question sort of stunned the kid.

That little kid, is my brother.

The kid alrady explained that there was a booth close to the face painting place that displayed turtles. He also said he was nervous. The kid is 10.

Well, really, what's not to like?

What's truly surprising is that more people don't randomly respond the same way.

I like turtles too,
turtle sandwiches,
turtle peach cobbler,
fried turtle on a stick,
turtle brownies,
and, plain ol' live turtle ripped out of its shell and skewered.

I also like you the same way.

Man, I have been waiting for someone to get the balls to do it. It would make my year to see that.

yeah jonathon nailed his straight face through the whole video, but that doesnt mean he's partially insane. He's a 10 year old kid who was nervous, and likes turtles and just saw one in a tent near by and just had turtles on his mind.
