Pint-Sized Entomologist Makes Discovery!


Thanks to my Superman husband, I now have a tiny pond in my front yard. This pond is to be a future habitat for Samuel's turtle, who has grown from the size of a silver dollar as a newborn to the size of a dinner plate at seven.
Anyway, we were outside watering. In Texas, this is a popular hobby. The boys were with me, looking at the pond, when they discovered a dead bug. Good home school family that we are, we launch into a discussion about jewel beetles.
Suddenly, Gideon says, "Let's do CPR!" The rest of his medical team decide this is a wise course of treatment for the jewel beetle. I don't have to tell you what happened next. Had the jewel beetle been alive, he didn't stand a chance against this kind of malpractice.
Samuel said, "Ewwww! Mom look! He has white blood!"
In a serious tone, Gideon says, "Those are his white blood cells. That's probably what killed him."
