Here are some more bug stories: May has been junebug awareness month around here. They've been everywhere- frying on our landscape lights and bouncing off the garage door. Ava is fascinated by them but she can't decide if she wants to rescue them when they are upside down, or just squish them and put them out of their misery. Recently Gabby spent the night, and they had already had baths and were in pjs but Ava kept asking to go outside because she forgot something- but she wouldn't tell me what it was. I finally said she could run out real quick and get it. Then I saw Gabby at the window, whispering "get me one , no get me two, no get me three . . ." and I got curious. I looked out and saw Ava gathering up june bugs. If I hadn't interfered, those girls were planning on taking handfuls of junebugs to bed with them! Who knows what is going on in those little minds? Which leads into my next story, also about bugs. . .
For about a week, I have been smelling something very sweet coming from the hutch where we keep office supplies. I kept thinking to myself, there is fruit in here! But I never saw any fruit, and even when I took everything out I didn't find any, so I'd just ignore it. Well, here's a lesson: a mother should always trust her nose and never think that weird smell is just going to go away on its own! Today, I smelled it again much stronger and could not ignore the little flying insects hovering around the hutch (just what you want when you're about to have a dinner party!)I took everything out again, looked around and still no fruit, then realized the only place fruit could be hiding was inside one of the compartments in the color printer. And that's where I found an entire decomposing banana! So, I yelled for Trey and we laughed and took a picture. What else do you do when your (barely used) printer has bugs flying out of it?
I have read this to Terry and we've both laughed out loud. This stuff is hilarious!
