Recently Darcy went through a very short lived, extreme nature lover phase.
One night she came out of her room to complain to me that a mosquito was buzzing in her ear while she tried to fall asleep. When I went in to try and get rid of the problem, she begged me to try not to kill it. I was told to just trap it and then go set it free. Really? Although that's standard protocol for ladybugs around here, we we're talking about mosquitoes. I told her we'd have to see, but I was pretty sure that if I trapped it while slapping my hands together, I might accidentally smuck it.
The following day after school Damian was chasing a mosquito and Darcy kept hollering "run mosquito, run" whenever Damian was closing in... This is how the story was told to me:
"Run mosquito, run!"
SLAP!
"Run mosquito, run!"
SLAP!
"Run mosquito, run!"
SLAP!
SLAP! "Gotcha!"
"Oh man, I should've waited to take my bite because I couldn't warn him with my mouth full."
Lately she's been complaining about how itchy her mosquito bites are so we I think the season for mosquito hunting has already re-opened.
Hard to be a guard for mosquito's and eat at the same time:) I think you are right Tanya this love affair will most likely be short lived! Thanks for giving us a laugh! Gramma xx
