OMG. This just bright back a 30 year old suppressed memory.

We did this in school, and I questioned why it shoved like that. The cool kid in class scoffed and said “it’s because of all the air whooshing around in your head, duh!”

And I nodded knowingly, and said something along the lines of “Of course! I knew that!”. 🤦‍♀️

Aaron, if you’re reading this, I just want you to know I still remember you shat your pants in grade 6.

Your heart pumps streams of blood around your body and every pump sends a wave of new blood that echoes into the paper and back to your ear and sounds like the ocean. Same thing with those shells you can pick up and listen to
