prev Bug Barn
next Why is it that all three of my kids can go outside barefoot every day of their lives and never learn any caution, but as soon as I try it, foolishly attempting to catch a ladybug for the new "bug barn" I bought the girls for their birthday yesterday, or more precisely to first find a leaf infested with aphids, of which we apparently have none, leaving me unsure as to whether this news ought to make me happy or sad, I step down on a thorn, protruding straight up from a dried twig on the sidewalk, then recoil and pivot onto a few of those rolled-up spiny seed things and pivot again frantically and this time, my big Fred Flintstone foot lands right on top of AAAAGGGHHH!!!!! a different thorn, enormous, from a different dried-up rose bush branch, a puncture so painful that I am still hobbling around 15 minutes later? Why is that? prev archive next 0 comments random |
