Anybody Want a Turtle?

Seriously..

Dear old Bentley is a turtle. I do not know what kind though. My asian international student , Cen Chen, who lives with us during holidays says you can tell by looking at their belly.. but this means nothing to me.

I found Bentley in a pawn shop in China Town in early August while on a missions trip.

Never in my life have I ever wanted a turtle. never. But all of a sudden, when I saw Bentley, and noticed he was a mere nine dollars..I figured "eh, why not"

I thought the kids we were working with would be excited if we came to VBS the next day and they got to play with a real turtle..turns out, they couldn't play with him cuz of possible contamination..if this is the case..I probably shouldn't have been kissing his head...ugh..

He got his unique name from baby Bentley in "Sixteen and Pregnant". Not that I watch that show...really I don't..
and his middles name: mushu..well..my neighbor and I thought he should have an asian name since I found him in China Town..the only one I could think of was my brother's girlfriend..but I don't think she'd appreciate me naming my turtle after her..I probably would've done it anyway, but luckily my neighbor thought up "mushu".

I kinda wanna give him away.. not cuz I don't absolutely adore him..
but I'm tired of feeding him..I have to like..every week..and..sometimes he makes noises..
