Bugs, Bugs, and More Bugs

So we have had a bloom of centipedes here. Pretty weird actually, and for some reason, they really like our balcony. We seem to have more than everyone around us....of course. They are tiny, and hopefully harmless, and Collin thinks that they are especially wonderful.



Which leads me into a cute story from one of the last few days at school. I was in the class one day helping clean up and several of the girls came running over saying "Mrs. Frederick! Mrs. Frederick! There is a beetle in the classroom!!!" This was accompanied by much wiggling and dancing, not unlike the need-to-go-pee dance. I said "Well, ask one of the boys to do something about it." The whole group of them, simultaneously turned around and yelled "Collin!!! Help!!! Come get this beetle!!!" He promptly did, supervised by the gaggle of girls making all sorts of fearful noises. Too funny! He even took it outside and set it free for them.



Men, even small ones, are good for a few, very definite things!!!
