Otters Holding Hands

About a week ago my sister came jumping toward me as I got home from senior sing exclaiming with great excitement that there was this video on youtube that I had to watch. She said it was called, Otters Holding Hands. What? Wait, I think my ears were plugged or galactic star dust drifted into my ear, Otters Holding Hands? What the...? I thought that maybe it was some new song like the Berries & Cream commercial or Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise (which is simply genius and if you have not watched this, you must, otherwise you will die not having lived). Instead, she gets on to youtube, types in "Otters" and I see in the list of otter related videos an "Otters Holding Hands REMIX". Good lord this already has a following. She clicks the first one and it begins to play. In what I could only presume was a zoo aquarius habitat are two chestnut colored otters lying on their backs with the palms of their little paws enlaced. "Eeeee! Omigod that is the cutest thing everrr!" Ok that doesn't really deserve quotes because that wasn't what I said exactly, but I think it was somewhere along those lines and definitely said "cute" and "ever" and "Eeeeee" with wavy hand motions and a scrunched-up smiley face. The next minute or so became less satisfactory as I got a little bored of watching these two otters hold hands (kind of like the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility that I learned in economics, basically the more you have of something the less satisfaction each additional piece brings you). I waited because my sister said that the best thing was near the end so we watched and went "Awww" because the two otters drifted apart, but they kept drifting along and I guess the water current pushed them back together and one of the otters extended its arm and linked paws with the other otter and moved its head as if it was nuzzling the other otter. "OMIGOSH! That is the cutest ever!" and more "Adorable" and "Eeeeee!" followed. Wow, seriously that has got to be the sweetest showing of affection. Clearly, those two were made to be in a K-Drama. (Go Choi Ji Woo Otter! Go Bae Yong Joon Otter!)
