'spaw...you must be the guy in a story I saw published once.

(paraphrased): "When I was 12 years old, I found a small turtle in our garden, and I carved my initials in its shell. 35 years later, I came back to my hometown and stopped by our old house. Glancing into the garden, I saw a large turtle under a bush.....rushing over, I picked it up and examined it!.....but there was no sign of carving."
