Today Luci got off the bus holding a carefully folded Kleenex square about 2" wide. It had a small piece of tape sealing it on one side and on the front was neatly written, "BUG."
After watching her take care of that small bug on the walk the other day, I was a little worried. Then she brought it home, carefully opened up the tissue, exclaimed sorrowfully that the head had fallen off, and then showed me the HUGE beetle with the sharp pointy behind and the very large separated head. She held it. She touched it. She carefully lifted up it's wing to see under it. She's completely mesmerized by it, interested in it, and not a bit frightened by it.
Then I got the note written on a small yellow lined sticky note from her teacher,
P.S. I just finally posted the IWC Italian night which includes two great new recipes!

I know that when Kirk gets back from Poland, he'll laugh and say that Luci is me. She certainly has a fascination with nature. And I did let loose a GIANT bright green spiky caterpillar in my neighbor's car when I was about Luci's age. Somehow age has taught me the ickiness of creepy crawlies. Luci's going to reteach me their beauty.
Yes, we still have the bug - both parts. He's safe in a little box lid waiting further study. I'm off to look for my insect book. I got it when I was about Luci's age.
