No… I don’t mean I like to eat bugs but I like bugs to be my friends.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On Sunday morning, Dad let us all outside before breakfast. As I was exploring my backyard, I found a BIG brown June bug. I had lots of fun with it ... I pushed it with my nose, I licked it, I tossed it in the air, I barked at it! Then dad called me in for breakfast. Well, I didn't want to leave my new friend outside all alone, so I tucked it in my lip and carried it to my crate. After dad put my food in the crate and left the room, I got my June bug out and started playing with it again. When dad came back to check on us, I had not eaten my breakfast and I was playing with my June bug. From all the commotion dad made, you would have thought I was playing with a rattle snake! He made me come out of my crate, he shook out my crate pad, he THREW my June bug outside and then put me back into my crate to eat breakfast. All the time he kept saying "Nick, that is GROSS!" <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Then on Sunday night, my sister Holly came out to play with me. We were running around in my back yard. We kept seeing these little things flying around and shining a light. At first I thought they were bugs with flashlights, but mom said they were lightening bugs. Holly and I would chase them to play with them but they kept disappearing. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I kept trying to catch one to look at but I couldn't! Finally mom got a jar for Holly and me. We sat and held the jar while mom caught us a lightening bug. Mom put it in the jar and it sat there and went "blink ... blink .. blink ... blink". Holly and I watched it and tried to play with it. Whenever we would move it, it would quit blinking! I tried to talk to it by blinking my eyes, but my eyes don't light up like that. Holly tried blinking her eyes too … I think she thought that girl eyes would light up like a lightening bugs. Hah! Her eyes didn’t light up either! So, we just sat and watched our lightening bug in the jar. After a while, mom said we had to let it go . ... so she opened the jar, and my friend the lightening bug sat on the edge of the jar and blinked at us before he flew away.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yes, I definitely like bugs!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Slurps,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nick<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
