While getting ready to practice the violin yesterday, Zoe found a rolly polly on the floor. She decided that she would pick it up and take it outside. On her way to the door, the little bug rolled in her hand. All in one solid motion she froze, screamed (horror movie style), dropped the bug, and ran sobbing straight into Daddy's arms. It was such a traumatic experience that I bet people two streets over heard her. She cried for a good 2 or 3 minutes. Once we got her settled down just a bit, her Dad told her to just step on a bug in the future if it scared her. Immediately she started screaming and crying again saying, "but they are nice! I don't want to hurt them." So sweet. Scared to death, but not going to hurt them :)

Great story. Made me laugh about how she was scared of the bug but would not kill it. Seems we can learn quite a bit from children
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute!! Rolly pollys freak me out when they roll up in your hands too. I agree with Zoe!!!
