‘The friend has been there before. Perhaps he even got duped in the past and spent his entire allowance on sea monkeys, just to realize the truth when the stupid brine shrimp turned out to be just brine shrimp.’
That was beautiful. You captured it brilliantly and very accurately.

Thank you.
When I was a kid, I sent away for sea monkeys from the back of a comic book. I didn't care if they were brine shrimp. I knew they weren't monkees.
I was a little pissed that they forgot to put the packet of crowns and scepters in my package, thought.
