A number of primary schools were doing a project on "The Sea." Kids
were asked to draw pictures or write about their experiences. Teachers
got together to compare the results and put together some of the
comments that were funny and some that were sad. Here are some of
them. The kids were all aged between 5 and 8 years. . .

If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island.

When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the
ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle
to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating
beans.

I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How
do mermaids get pregnant?

I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always
screaming and being sick, my Dad keeps shouting at my Mom and my big
sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write.
(Amy age 6)
Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give
you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think
they have to plug themselves into chargers.
(Christopher age 7)
My Mom has fishnets, but doesn't catch any fish.

When you go swimming in the sea, it is very cold and it makes my willy
small.

When me and Sarah went to the sea side in the summer holidays, we hid
in the sand dunes and watched my big sister doing it with her boy
friend. It was fun.

A submarine goes under the water like a fish, but it has lots of seamen
inside.

When I grow up, I want to be captain of a big ship and have lots of
sailors.

Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Two divers can't
go down alone, so they have to go down on each other.

On holiday my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going
very fast. She says she won't do it again because water shot up her
fanny.
