You make a movie about it, of course!

Our family vacationed in Florida last week, and one afternoon while I sat on the beach watching my fishing poles, a 6-ft. bull shark (likely) swam within 2 feet of my 13-year old daughter and her 5-year old cousin. The shark came in looking for a dead fish. Someone had cleaned a pompano and thrown the carcass back into the ocean. My son had discovered the fish and, of course, was using a sand flea net to try to pick it up. Bull sharks can smell one drop of blood 1/4-mile away, and this one slipped between my daughter and her cousin before reaching his meal. Pretty tense moment!
