In third grade I attended a newly built elementary school.

The student body got to vote on our mascot. Designs had been submitted by the students themselves. This was Arizona, so a lot of the mascots were desert-themed. I remember there was a cactus. Somebody wanted us to be the Estrellas.

And then there was a shark.

The shark wore sunglasses, and his name was Finn McCool.

I don’t think they even had to count the votes.
