My boys are working REALLY hard to teach me the beauty of bugs. I’m not a fast learner but I’m trying! Kat

Speed has Spiderman…my now 17 year old had Barney. Poor old guy went everywhere with her through third grade. She wouldn’t leave home without him. When we were packing last month to move our household to Utah where she and her sister attend college there was a frantic search for the now one-armed and bald purple friend. We had to make sure that he (and Mr. Monkey her sister’s special buddy) were safely packed in a box big enough to not be lost. And while my girls never taught me much about not panicking (they were the champs) I did learn about the beauty of bugs from my baby who brought me everyone she found. Her big sister, who even as a little girl was able to understand the complexity and philosophy of life, taught me to listen to the whisper of an old soul. Sometimes I think our children have more important things to teach us than we have to teach them.
