Things I Wish I Never Knew....


Last week while homeschooling my fourth grader we learned about the Hag Fish. Although science is not my favorite subject one thing about this fish is very unique. When threatened, this fish vomits out two gallons of disgusting slime. Once the slime is out, this fish makes it's escape.

After reading this in his science book, of course my ten year old boy wanted to see this done, so we headed over to YouTube. That image is now forever embedded in my mind. If you're bored, hop on over to YouTube and type in Hag Fish...it really is kind of fascinating.

As for me? I still prefer English over science any day!

  2. I'm with you Colleen...not a big slime fan. Although that didn't stop me from watching ALL of the hagfish videos I could find. :) I just couldn't look away, no matter how disgusting it was. That was awesome - thanks for the post!

  4. Wait, two GALLONS? You mean, literally, two gallons?
    I'm not sure whether I should google it or not. But, will my kids be properly educated if I don't? Better not take the chance.
