The Grasshopper




This week, while waiting for Handsome at school, Goddess squatted down and picked up what I thought would be a flower, a clover or some other priceless present. This time she came toward me with something moving.

She was amazed that it sat on her hand staring at her. I was amazed and worried that it didn't hop off onto her face or something. I took pictures with my teeth clenched, worried at any moment she would scream when it hopped. It never did. She held it for about 2 minutes while they stared at each other. Then the grasshopper turned around and hopped off her hand.

  8. Children aren't fazed by half the things that scare the living daylights out of us! We should learn from them.

  10. Very cute pictures but I have to agree with you--I'd have my teeth clenched in anticipation. There's nothing worse than a surprise grasshopper attack to the nose!
