If you have kids you will probably have noticed by now, that when they venture outside to explore and discover, or hey, even when they are just walking out to the car to run some errands with their mother, they will no doubt find something "squat worthy."
And if you live in Australia, you will probably find fifty "squat worthy" things in half a second. And you don't actually even need to be outside. Ick.
What am I babbling on about???
This...
Something was moving, and so they felt it necessary to squat themselves down.
Oldest to youngest of course. My children are neat and orderly in ALL things.
Reactions to the bug went a little something like this:
Reid, Jarom and Conner... "WHOA! AWESOME!!! So cool!"
Lena... "Awww... he's so CUTE!"
I love the little differences between boys and girls.
Here it is close up... because I know how much you would like a close up shot of something
creepy and crawly.
Unfortunately for the disgusting bug, he headed himself straight towards the back tire of our car.
And parked himself there. And wouldn't move.
By this time thirty seconds had passed and the children were seriously attached to the bug,
had given him a name and were arguing over whose room he would sleep in. Naturally, they were
very concerned about whether or not he would get squished when we backed out of the garage.
Unfortunately again for the disgusting bug, I was ready to get going on the 50,261 errands I had to run,
so I ordered my children into the car, and told them not to worry, Mr. Bug would move out of the way,
I was SURE (no, of course I wasn't sure... but I have no love of bugs like my four small children).
Into the car the kids went, still very concerned about the creature. It's possible Conner had tears in his eyes.
It's possible Lena uttered the words "I LOVE him mommy!!!"
It's also possible that bug is watching us from heaven right now, waiting patiently to stand witness
against me come judgement day.
