After we put the boys to bed last night, we were flipping through channels and settled on something that was coming on The Travel Channel. There was a warning before the show aired that said "This program contains indigenous nudity." I couldn't stop laughing. I know, I know. National Geographic-type nudity. But we have plenty of that around here. Especially before and after bathtime, when the natives get a little silly. So I guess we have a new word for what is a daily occurence around our house.
Oh, and Joseph wanted me to be sure to include a note on his new pets. In addition to the hermit crabs (2 of the 3 have now passed on- we buried them tonight), he also brought home Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches. My sister-in-law is a teacher, and a co-worker who teaches science had a roach that had just given birth. Yuck, right? Well, Joseph wanted these guys for Christmas, but they were like $40 each on the Internet, and I just didn't want to fork over that kind of money for a roach. Well, God does answer prayers, because she just called us up before we left for the trip and asked if he was interested. They are little guys, and super-easy to care for (much easier than chickens, cats or children). We'll keep everyone updated on their progress.

As to the hissing roaches, THERE IS NO WAY. Besides being crunchy bugs, they must be noisy with all that hissing right? Ewww... and they're roaches?! Giving BIRTH?! Double ewww!!! They just wouldn't survive here. I have to strong of a compulsion to stomp and squish... and I don't think I could hold back!
