Overheard at the museum

A preschooler comes running up to our stingray and shark tank excited to pet a sting ray. As he runs the corner, the big Southern Ray comes up to the window and lurks. Child sees it, screams "ah, it's a monster", and runs off. Dad and I laugh, go get the child, and tell him it's not a monster it's the sting ray. Child looks at sting ray but refuses to touch.
