Pets...

This morning out of the blue...
#4: There are only two pets I like. One is pigs, and do you know what the other one is?
Me: What?
#4: Bunnies DUH!
Me: What do you mean DUH?
#4: Bunnies and pigs are nice!
Me: Okay, but why DUH? Do you know what duh means?
#4: No.

I suppose I should insert here that #4 is pretty much afraid of any animal with fur. Dogs of any shape or size pretty much put him into panic, and although he doesn't freak out so much about cats, he has been known to stiffen up when one walks by. I am not sure he has ever seen a pig or a bunny close up, but he has a small stuffed pig, and a small stuffed bunny, so that is probably what he is basing his opinion on.

I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu
