Lissa spent the night with me and when I woke her up for school she screamed that she hated waking up and was never going to school, ever, forever. So, I told her I knew where there was this giant bug and if she got up I'd show it to her and she said, no. I said, I'll take you to McDonalds..and she jumped up and got ready. I looked in her back pack for school clothes and it was full of toys, stickers and paper dolls. I asked her who packed that thing and she said, well, she did. Mom didn't check it, I guess. I found a new white T-shirt and a cute pair of pink shorts and clean socks and underwear and decided that was good enough. She got ready all by herself, even brushed her own hair. The only thing she needed help with was tying her shoes. When we got out to the car, she reminded me of the big bug. So, I said, let's look and see if he's still there. And it was. But now it has a....friend. Ew. Lissa asked what they were doing and I said, uhhhh. And she said, well, that's just gross. Bleeeagggggg. (That was me.)

Bug porn...yucky
How cute Lissa jumped up for Micky-D's...Classic!
Ah, bribery. A most highly underrated parenting tool in my book.
ROFLMFAO.. Let's do it like they do it on the discovery channel!!
Alien porn. Oh, gawd.
LOL. Yuck!
aww look how he's holding her lovingly around the waist. *sniff* Young love is just so...when does she whack off his head?
females do not always eat the male's heads...it doesn't happen that much...
My kid has a food button too. Those bugs are just sick. Wonder if you'll find one half eaten later.....
Look at her friggin' "arms!" I think she might snap his head off.
Bribery always works. It's better than arguments. It was old folks day at McDonalds and all those old farts have their own coffee cup. Weird.
Let's all sing along: birds do it... bees do it... even praying mantis in the weeds do it... can't remember the rest of the song. LOL
For some strange reason, I feel like The Captain and Tennille's "Muskrat Love" should be playing in the background.
Oh god. Like I needed to see that. Gee thanks.
What's up with this kids mother? Is she on drugs? What causes her to be neglectful?
Matilda, I'm singing with you.
When I was a kid I found a cocoon. I cut the branch and brought it in the house and hid it behind the TV. I had no idea what kind of critter was going to hatch, but I thought there was only going to be one. How do you suppose my folks reacted when we had hundreds of praying mantis in the house? I thought it was cool. Not well and I was too young to know that two big ones had done THAT in order for me to
I started to say "thousands" but thought that may just have been how many my "kid's eyes" saw so I just looked it up. I'll be Liss would love to see this:

It used to be against the law to kill them (in NY, anyway), so I remember amid a bit of cussing, my Mom and Dad scooping them up and putting them outdoors.
I also once hatched (in a hidden aquarium) mosquitos. It drove the whole family crazy as we were being bitten alive at night. When the aquarium was discovered I was asked, "What in god's name were you thinking?" Well, that was easy. I thought I was growing protozoa. We were learning about them (still have no idea what they are) in school.
Sorry. Feeling chatty, tonight, but I thought Liss would enjoy seeing the results of "THE GROSS ACT". (SMILE)
My theory on "kid bribery" is that grandparents are allowed to use whatever means available (lawful and unlawful) to get visiting grandkids to do whatever needs to be done.
Of course, if the grandparent has *custody* of said kid, responsible parenting technique must be employed...lol
Coyote, I can relate to that. I hatched Black Widows once. I thought it was scientific. Did you know they're white when their born?
shemelle.. I hear ya, but, she knows I have more stuff for Lissa here than I do for myself. I need to buy some more school clothes, obviously. Everything ends up at her house so I have to restock. That's normal, isn't it? Anyhow, it doesn't piss me off.
OMG, Pat. Well, my pray mantises probably would have eaten your black widows. I was always doing crazy things as a kid. Back in those days, no one kept track of what/where you were. I sometimes wonder how I got out of childhood alive. I spent half my life crabbing down around the docks as a little kid.
I didn't know bw's were white when born. Amazing how much we learn on this site.
As a kid I was scared to death that I'd find a black widow. Little did I know I had a lot more to worry about if I found a brown recluse.
Pat,
You love that little redheaded cutie. And, you don't let nothin' get in the way. You are a big person, you are the person she needs. I like you. You are wise.
I hope I get grand babies some day. And if I'm so lucky, I'd want to be like you.
That's nice of you to say. Thanks. I do think I'm a great grandmother. That's probably the only thing I do right.
