Me: There is something on the wall with wings and you need to take care of it.
A: Where?
Me: Above the TV
A: *walks over and squints at it* It's just a lightning bug. *walks to the kitchen to get a container to catch it and release it outside*
Me: What did you say it was?
A: A lightning bug
Me: What will it do?
A: *looks at me funny* It's butt will light up.
Me: Really? Can you make it do that so I can see it??
A: *stares at me*
Me: What? I've never seen one!
A: *mumbles something about city people under his breath*
It flew behind something before he could snag it, but I've never felt more like a city girl than last night.
This post made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteFYI - I used to catch lightning bugs and put them in a jar with holes in the lid when I was a kid. This from the girl who's TERRIFIED of bugs. Lightning bugs are harmless. :-)
