- Ryan:I was watching you today and you know what it reminded me of?
- Me:(Smiling) What?
- R:A sessile… a sessile creature.
- Me:Okay…. what’s that?
- R:It’s a creature that is incredibly slow-moving and awkward – like they can’t move around by themselves.
- Me:(Looking it up on my phone) – It’s a barnacle. A sessile creature is a barnacle or coral!
- R:Exactly!
