A beaming Clayton opens the screen door and holds up a Grasshopper
"Look What I caught Mom! Can I EAT him?"
I assume the look of a deer caught in headlights; looking for a safe corner to dart unnoticed
"Ummm......
I'd prefer if you didn't?"
Clay: "Okay then. I'll eat him!"
I think we understood each other perfectly.
I didn't have a good reason for saying no,
and couldn't bring myself to say yes.
He knew he had the silent permission.
I never asked how it... (gulp) went,
but heard him telling Auntie Hannah that it was "gooey".
I bet.
I'm thankful to know without having to try it myself.
Boys. What would life be without them?
Bwahahahahahaahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!
