Crickets, Ants and Other Randomness
pamelamyers | June 20, 2015
Out basement is always full of crickets. I have no idea where they come from, or why they love our basement so much, but there you go. They are always there. I don’t mind them so much, as far as bugs go, so we leave them alone. They never make noise that we can hear so they don’t bother anyone. Sam loves them. Anytime she finds one hopping around, she is so excited. This morning, Sam was playing with her giant piano and left it out. Not long after, I came down and found a cricket on it. I thought Sam would find it funny so I called to her to see. I was right. She thought it was hysterical, especially when I made “cricket voices” and made it say, “Hey, why won’t this thing play?” and other nonsense. Sam loves when I make silly voices and I can’t resist doing it because she laughs so hard.
Sam’s got a typical fascination with bugs right now, I did too when I was a kid. Her other bug love is ants. And anthills in particular. We have so many of them at the edges of our lawn and in the cracks in our driveway. Sam is always running over to check on “the neighbors” as she likes to call them.
This weekend we also got to pick our first tomato! Yum! (Yeah, don’t get your hopes up, Sam didn’t eat it, we did. Picky kid…)
