What kind of question is this?

I knew these questions were starting to get weird.

But I'll answer anyway.
My turtle hurt my feelings when he didn't want to play with me; he usually goes into his shell and ignores me.
Then one day, he was just lying there.
At first, I thought he was just being lazy like he always acts.
Come to find out, he was dead. ;;;_;;;
