Bug Club

At the Wilds this summer, each Thursday night the speaker of the week was asked to join the "bug club" and eat a chocolate covered cricket. We were there to see Morris Gleiser eat one. My sister Laura was able to purchase a few for her nieces and nephews. I knew my boys would not eat it if they knew what it was. Caleb will say "ewww" to anything new before it even enters his mouth. So in school we are learning a poem called "The Secret" and I was suppose to prepare a plastic egg for my student with a secret. Well I put the candy in and told them there was still one more secret I would share later. The boys popped in and commented how good they were, I pried asking if they tasted anything special (like a leg I was thinking). Titus says "It tastes like Hershey's!" Then when it was all gone (because I certainly didn't want to clean up throw up or chocolate spit) I shared the secret. They are now members of the bug club, like it or not. Caleb then informed me it didn't feel so good in his belly. Oh well!
