    Thousands of dollars of water damage a "small inconvenience" is how I want to be in life
  • I’m with this kid when he says they’re the closest creature to an alien. They totally are!
  • @Starboy-mp2ci
    The dad looked so proud when his son said I think he nailed it.
  • @MsTwissy
    “I think he nailed it” the highest praise a young child can give their father.
  • @j.d1614
    I give that dad a lot of credit for his patience not to mention his love for his son who has an octopus obsession maybe some day that little boy will grow up to be a marine biologist and save the oceans of the world from human destruction
  • @joseft2674
    “He nailed it” love the confidence he has in his dad 🥲
  • @melmar99
    Sweet boy. He makes his dad feel so proud with his affirmation.
  • Most octopuses that you can purchase are actually caught from the wild and then sold to keep as pets. There is very little regulation. So there is a high chance Terrance was already pregnant when she was essentially taken.
  • To me an octopus is like an orca, it should not be in a tank. They are highly intelligent creatures and deserve to be free.
  • @Brandoncye
    "I think he nailed it" and the dads smile. So wholesome
  • @zaxvgn0707
    The patience this dad shows will ensure his kids have a happy childhood. Hats off to him!
  • Gotta love how the Dad viewed the repairs to their kitchen as simply “inconvenient” & that this didn’t equal having to give up Terry & in turn saved the babies! A beautiful example of a proud-of-his Dad son who is clearly loved. The babies names are hysterical! Applause too for not selling them to individuals!!
  • @benbaggen2375
    The things we do for our kids.....like buy him a $10,000 fish tank😂
  • I mean, considering the damage some octopuses have wreaked on multi-million dollar aquaruim facilities staffed with specialists these guys honestly got off pretty lightly and they learned a valuable lesson in the process. Seems like a win to me.
  • @IannaYvonne
    Dads face shows he would ABSOLUTELY do things differently 😩
  • @alansmith4734
    Sad Fact: The female octopus lays her eggs and dedicates the remainder of her life to protecting them. She stops eating, slowly starves, and once her offspring are ready to hatch, she dies. This self-sacrifice ensures the eggs are safe from predators, giving the next generation a chance to survive.
  • @DanielScott
    Seayoncé is nice, but Swin Shady is the best name for an aquatic pet. Hands down!😂
  • @grondhero
    News reporter: But would they have done anything different? Son: Nothing really. Dad: Son: I think he nailed it. Dad:
  • Give this Dad the father of the year award!! That right there is a prime example of the best father that anyone could be
