Bubbles!

My niece loves to play the Bubble Breaker game on my phone. She can be down the hall at her grandmothers house, and as soon as she hears the little start up noise, she comes running going…”bubbles!” Being the fun uncle, I’ve bought her several bottles of the old fashioned bubble things, and she loves to run around popping them all. She even has to say, “pop…pop…pop,” as she pokes them. (I think they don’t really pop unless she makes the sound.)

I also remember how cool I thought it was when adults could make smoke rings with their pipe or cigarette smoke.

Now comes this video from Sea World where some of the dolphins, on their own, have learned to make a bubble ring with their blow holes, and then play with the ring underwater. And the others learned it from the ones that started it. You have to watch this, as it’s nearly impossible to describe how cool it is.
