"What?"
"There's a moth in the shower!"
"Oh... Good?"
"Do you want to pick it up and take it outside so it can get SQUASHED and EATEN by a lizard or a car?"

Date: 2009-03-19 10:34 am (UTC)That reminds me of when our daughter was about 2 or 3 and we rescued a moth that was battering itself against the kitchen light. "We'll let it go outside," we said.
We opened the kitchen door, threw the moth into the air, expecting it to take off and fly away. Instead, confused, it plummeted to the floor where it lay fluttering for about 2 seconds before the cat snapped it up and ate it!
I think that was her first introduction into the cruel unpredictability of life.
