Bugs!

Elizabeth brought something home from Coweta recently.  It was a small plastic box with two cicada shells and one dead cicada bug.  Mom was surprised that she was so overjoyed by this souvenir from Grandma and Grandpa’s.  Apparently she liked finding them and then squealed in delight as she pretended they were tickling her hair.  Oh my!

That night she had placed the box on her bed next to her pillow.  Mom asked if she could move it to her dresser and Elizabeth replied that she wanted to sleep with them.  She was going to have them as her “sleep buddy” for the night.  Mom suggested that it wasn’t a good idea as the box was hard and might poke her in the night so it was agreed that they would be in the floor next to her bed or on the dresser at night. 

How exciting that she loves nature and isn’t afraid of these things, but where did she come from?  Ha ha!  The bugs were popular enough to later go to school as show and tell and are frequently carried around in one of her many purses.
