Weekend means have fun outdoor.
It did serve me right.
It was my first time visiting our staycation place near the beach. I and my cousins happily taking our time to enjoy the day.
Then, we saw an old man carrying something so we approached him out of curiosity.
He was holding a dead octopus that he catch early that day and he said, he's selling it.
We called our uncle and he bought it to the old man.
I, who is so confident that the octopus is dead, volunteer to hold it. Even took a photo.
Moments later, my cousins started screaming, laughing and pointing at me.
It's the octopus tentacles started moving.
Some tentacles is already in my t-shirt crawling up.
That's when I look down, I saw one tentacles almost touch my forearm. I was kind in panic.
Tingling sensation started to creep in.
I don't like something moving especially if it is slimy. I mean, I'm afraid of alive octopus.
I did run close to my uncle because I might throw the octopus somewhere. I end up throwing it to him. He catch it! as he is fully aware I'm going to do that. Lol!
One of a kind experience back in the day.
Trip down memory lane to my weekend.
Photo was from that day.
So how's everyone doing?
What are you up to today?

You got a good story to tell that day! I hope you enjoyed eating octopus when everyone got home.
I'm glad your uncle caught it when you threw it at him.
