Boys and Bugs
| I know that there are some girls that like bugs and there are some boys that don't like bugs, but in general, I think boys and bugs go together. We were at a clam bake on Monday in the mountains of PA. Our friends have 31 acres of land, with most of it being woods. While Big Daddy and I ate and conversed with friends the boys were off exploring the woods with their friends. By the time we were ready to leave, they had two large plastic cups filled with insects. They had worms, salamanders and a toad. None of which did they want to leave. Some how we got convinced to let them bring them home. It was an interesting ride home. The salamanders keep trying to escape and one did escape. DS1 had to get out of his seat to find it! He did find it. I believe the toad was in a state of shock and didn't try to hop out of his cup. I do not like insects or the like. It was a very stressful ride home for me. At home, we told the boys they had to let the "guys" go. DS1 broke down in tears. He said he would let the salamaders and worms go, but not his "pet" toad. I went on the internet to look up what it takes to care for a toad. Too much work! You have to buy crickets once a week to feed to the toad. You also have to buy food to feed the crickets, so they don't die while waiting for their turn to be eaten! I finally convinced him to let the toad go. I told him he could look for his toad in the morning. As soon as he woke up, he ran outside to find his toad. It was gone. He seemed OK with that. We really do need to get a pet for the boys. I'm just not sure what one. |
