PART ONE
"No I am not! Quit saying that! Where are you running to?"
When yelling occurs like this I almost tingle waiting to find out what is going on. Those two have caused so much excitement in the house that everyday is a small adventure.
I did not have to wait long. Into the room scurried two wide eyed monsa with a bit of a desperate look on their faces
"Biggy. Come quick. You won't believe what Elizabeth is eating." Theo just made a fake gagging noise when Monsa said that.
"What?"
"Just go into the kitchen now. It is horrible." With that statement they turned and ran out of the room. I followed behind to find out what they were talking about. I could see them down the hall looking around the corner into the kitchen. Not knowing what was going on I slowly approached the door and looked around the corner myself.
There sat my dear wife having a mid day lunch. In front of her was a nice bowl of small steamed baby carrots.
"See! See! She's eating worms"
Now carrots are not something that we have in the house often without being sliced up into something. And yes small long steamed carrots do have a worm like look to them.
I knew instantly what I had to do.
"Guys. Those are not worms she is eating."
"Really biggy?"
"Really. That is a nice big bowl of larva." I then bit my tongue to keep from laughing.
Their little eyes got real big as they looked up at me. A look of revulsion came over them.
"I like them also. Want some? They're pretty tastey"
With a scream they broke for the basement door moving as fast as their little legs could propel them.
Now my wife had sat silently this entire time. She finally spoke.
"You're going to give them bad dreams and I am the one who will end up staying awake with them, you little snot. I'm going to beat you tonight."
I simply turned and walked away. My job here was done.
