Walter and Mary

I woke up this morning to a very excited boyfriend. I was awoken by the slapping of his feet on the floor as he ran to the bedroom then pronounced "Lightning had a baby! Lightning had a baby!". Lightning is a snail. He lives in our fish tank. He eats poo. He was the only snail in the tank. I think we should rename Lightning, Mary. Our new addition is tiny but he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Er, Shell.
