Jordan (9) is our future veterinarian. She loves anything that crawls, barks or meeows. She saves ants from drowning in our pool.
When she came over yesterday she was carrying a special clear bug box with about 6 or 7 Cicadas that she had captured in her yard.
She loves them and would take them out and let them crawl on her arms and shoulders. YUCCCCKKKK! She had even named them!
Her Aunt Melissa was talking with her about the Cicadas and asked if she was going to let them go.
Jordan said no. She wanted to watch them.
Melissa reminded her that they had been in the ground for 17 years and when they finally got out.... she had captured them and put them in her bug box. She asked Jordan how she thought the Cicadas felt about that! How they felt about losing their freedon after 17 years of trying to get free.
Jordan looked at the captured bugs and started for the back yard yelling....... OUT of My Way! Coming Through.
I have Cicadas to SET FREE!!!!!
She carefully took them from their prison and placed them on a tree.
I asked her how she felt about setting her bugs free. She said that she was happy-sad. Happy to set them free again but sad to see them go.
Jordan experienced her first taste of Parenthood!!!
