Today, I had to convince my 20-year-old boyfriend that not only is his aquatic turtle a reptile, but that it's also cold-blooded and thus can't regulate its own temperature just by going into its shell. He still thinks I'm the stupid one. FML

Tell him that alligators, crocodiles are closely related to dinosaurs and birds are actually living dinosaurs and watch his head explode.

I feel as though the "convincing" should go very quickly once the OP decides to just show him an entry on wikipedia.

Well, 26, some people are just too stubborn to ever learn. Good luck teaching him OP.

The one who needs luck here is the turtle. I shudder to think of the living conditions for this poor animal if her boyfriend thought these things. There's likely zero filtration, zero opportunity for thermoregulation and basking, no UVB radiation..... Aquatic turtles are one of the most commonly available pets, yet their requirements are complex and needy. They are one of the most neglected species, right there with iguanas and hermit crabs.

The Ninja Turtles can rescue citizens and fight crime every day! But, when it comes to regulating body temperature....

I always assumed the Ooze made them warm-blooded as well as human sized.

Even if you plug your ears, you'll still be able to read it. So you accomplished...pretty much nothing :P

I had a friend who died from not knowing how turtles work. It was sad.

Don't give him the cold shoulder. I hope it wasn't in bad blood. Anyone? No? Okay...

A marine biologist? Heck, get him to talk to the kids there, they can probably teach him.
