Boys and Bugs

Little Jason came running to me with arm extended.  He was very excited.  “A bug, Mom, a bug!”  Sure enough, there was a suspicious looking black object between two fingers.

I cannot be blamed for what I did.  So what that I grew up in the country, I still don’t like bugs ON me.  I threw everything that was on my lap in the air and fled, squealing and tripping as I went.  “No, I don’t want the bug; I don’t want it!”

I scared my poor boy so badly that he threw the bug and cried and cried.  I tried to make it better.  Really I did!

“Come on now, it’s okay.  Mommy doesn’t want the bug.  Find it and put it in the trash.”  And he did!  What a good boy.  If this is the beginning of many similar gifts…I may lose sleep at night!

    LOL That’s awesome, and sounds like something I will be doing in the future. (I HATE bugs, though my wife doesn’t mind them so much)
    I don’t have to worry about it for a while though, right now he is content to just stare at them in curiosity as they scurry around on the ground.
    Happy Thursday!

    Maybe you scared him so badly he won’t like them anymore. Or at least will not take them to you. He has an uncle that hates spiders.

    I don’t want to get all serious — but I wouldn’t discourage his fondness for bugs, frogs, fungus or snakes. That’s what boys like. Maybe try to hold it together next time and have him put it outside instead of in the trash?

    Just sayin… I love ya.

    LOL – Now you know who to call when you find an unwanted bug, flies in your kitchen, or one of those lizards (that I hate in my house). With all those girls in the house its probably good you have a brave, and..well…learning to be more understanding, little boy around for those situations 🙂

    My oldest son, when he was little was always bringing me bugs. I guess I did encourage it by buying him a bug box. Well I have never been very fond of bugs, but I always did my best to keep it togehter. And it’s a good thing I did. Because he still likes bugs, and I am still not fond of them. So whenever some creppy crawly thing makes its way in our home. My bug slaying hero comes to the rescue. 😀

    Lol…that’s hilarious! Girls and boys are so different! My kids at a crawfish boil: Kaia pokes the crawfish in the pool with a stick; Harry reaches in and grabs one!

    I agree. Bugs are the worst thing ever. I sweep them out of the house, because I cannot kill them. I am doomed, hate them, yet not able to hurt them. May your boy be enligthened quickly!!!!

    HA! HA! HA! My sister and I grew up in Africa. You’d think we’d love to camp, “rough it” and love bugs, snakes, etc. NO!!!!!! We HATE THEM!!!!!! I’m not at all looking forward to the day my sun brings me all sorts of “treasures… 🙂

    Having three boys myself, I try to pretend that bugs don’t affect me…
