Jellyfish: http://theblob.org/raina/prompts/#14
"JELLIES!"
Tara shriek in joy and ran over to the glass panels that separated us from the jellyfish undulating in dark water. Black lights lit up some of the tanks, making the jellies fluoresce in violent vibrant hues.
"Look Molly! Jellies!"
Tara was at my side again, her golden brown eyes shining up at me. I smiled back at her, let her lead me to the wall of jellyfish. She stood in front of one of the black lit tanks with her nose inches from the glass, watching the Jellyfishes' tentacles wave in the water.
"Molly, why don't their legs get tangled?"
"I don't know sweetie, what do you think?"
"I think they're really careful." She looked up and nodded at me with the solemnity of a six-year-old, then laughed and hurried out of the jellyfish room towards the shark petting pool. I watched her go, walking behind her slowly, never letting her out of my sight. She splashed in the pool with the other children, shrieking and laughing and listening to the Aquarium worker.
