It's common knowledge that boys like bugs.
Me, I don't like bugs.
Spiders are at the top of the list.
Spiders have this effect on me.
The other day Noah volunteered to kill a spider for me. He grabbed a large shoe and started pounding at it while shouting "AHHH" at the top of his lungs.
"Why are you yelling?" I shouted over him.
"Because that's how you kill the spiders." he said.
So to even out all the girly screaming I've taught my boys by example,
all outdoor- pro-boy bug hunts are encouraged.
Frogs are the favorite.

3 notes:
OK, for the record friend...a frog is not a bug. I need to get your clan down to the beach with us and show them our salamanders. Bliss.
Touche. Frogs eat bugs which is why they are my friends.
First, that frog is the smallest thing ever, especially in the hands of your men's little hands. Second, I have the same reaction to spiders. I'm deathly afraid of them. And lastly, Noah's reasoning for screaming while pounding on the spider made me belly over with laughter - WAY TOO CUTE!
