She's from the Philippines and she said something I think y'all will find funny.
I showed her a picture of my tortoise over facebook and she said "So cute. But I'm scared." And I asked her why and she said that in the Philippines they say if you touch a tortoise you become forgetful.
I just thought it was funny in the west turtles and tortoises are seen as wise because of their slow life style, but in the Philippines they are viewed as bad to touch because they will make you forgetful.
