Other Title: The Crying Ant and Other Traumatized Insects
Our three year old has the ability to drive non-biting, peace loving insects to go against their most basic instinct and take their first bit of human flesh. Any ant that dares cross into 'our territory' risks being the focus of all of Child Number 3's attention and affection. His first run in with insects that turn was a memorable one, I'll leave the details to your imagination, but it ends with an ant attached to the very tip of his tongue and me trying to pull it off!
There was also the time that a caterpillar was loved and looked after until he seemed to 'fall asleep', Child Number 3 then made a tiny caterpillar sized bed and came back inside to report that he was "safe now".
They say that love hurts, but apparently so does curiosity!
