I will go to Paris Hilton's house in hopes she will adopt me. She have pet frogs and turtles aside from dogs and cats, You know how much she spoils her pets. I heard her frogs swims in expensive drinking water. Her dogs and cats also have their own massagers and chefs.

I would wonder why I became a turtle. I would have to get used to it and then I guess have to do things turtles do.

"To turn turtle" is an English idiom meaning to capsize (of a boat) or turn upside down. If turtles capsize (fall on their backs) they usually have great difficulty righting themselves and are pretty helpless. Therefore I wouldn't really enjoy 'turning turtle'!
'Capsize' sounds a rather odd thing for a boat to do since they don't wear caps and, if they did, it might be difficult to size them! I thought at first that, if a boat 'capsizes', the sailor's hats might get wet and shrink (change 'size'!) but, no ... the word comes from two Spanish words 'cabo' = 'head' and 'chapuzar' = 'to dive', so it means 'to duck the head'!
Such strange things we learn when we take a journey in the ocean of words!

Reminds me of that scene on tv show I watch last week, the character turned into a turtle because she was injured.

I would hope not to be caught and end up in soup.
