[FAMILY/MARINE ED.] Oh, to be a kid again! Wouldn't it be nice? I know, I know—there would be things I'd miss: my independence, the wisdom of experience, and my legal right to self-induce cancer with cigarettes. But youth is an innocent time spent living in the moment and pursuing only that which gives one pleasure. It is the passport to an un-self-conscious existence, a permission slip to be honest at all costs, and a time to dream unlimited. And one other thing—being young would allow me the opportunity to attend the Maui Ocean Center's "Sleeping with the Sharks" sleepover party this weekend. Perhaps the coolest event ever conceptualized by humankind, the sleepover is open to children between grades 3 and 8. For $55 (members receive an additional 15% off), kids will have the privilege to experience a sure-to-be unforgettable social, educational, and entertaining evening. Included in the admission will be a pizza party, snacks and a pancake breakfast; as well as a scavenger hunt, ocean-related movies, games, crafts, and more. Attendees will get the chance to feed hammerhead sharks and sea turtles; and be educated about the enchanting creatures of the sea. Then they'll be given a souvenir cup and fossil shark tooth and sent back into the world with a smile and memories they'll likely to never forget. Space is limited and complete information can be obtained by calling the Maui Ocean Center, (808) 270-7085. If the line's busy, keep trying—I may be on the other end offering $55 a day to move into the Ocean Center permanently. [COREY NIELSEN]
