He is fascinated by their existence and inspects them every chance he gets. My father-in-law is the same way. For instance, my FIL found a dead male stag beetle and procured it for my son. That has been added to the collection of other dead and mummified creatures in our household. <BR/><BR/>Because of this (and many other reasons), I'm conviced God has quite a healthy sense of humor because I will loudly proclaim that "I don't do bugs" to anybody who will listen long enough. But when my son comes home with a new creature - dead or alive - I am very interested in what he has and help him research things about it. <BR/><BR/>Boys will be boys and sometimes girls will, too.

I am laughing because my husband is very ...HAHA!!! I am laughing because my husband is very upset with me over the whole "boys and bugs" issue. Apparently I have made our sons dislike any bug, in any form, They loudly proclaim, "EWWW," when we need to rid our house of an insect. They refuse to even use their tennis shoe-clad feet to squish a spider for Mommy. Where's the Happy Medium, I ask you???MamaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640267511810411108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-26893752590032950472008-07-11T08:27:00.000-06:002008-07-11T08:27:00.000-06:00I'm new at blogging, and I was brousing through th...I'm new at blogging, and I was brousing through the blogs of people who homeschool and came across your blog about your girls. I have two girls, ages 14 and 12. They are not girly-girls either. In fact, my youngest refuses to like the color pink. We live on a hobby farm and love all the critters we meet. They have actually grown out of holding bugs and crawly things. Right now we have a fish bowl full of tadpoles. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the laugh, as I think about my girls.G.Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791496325144729125noreply@blogger.com
