This was the other thing I learned last week - boys have no gene that make them repulsed by bugs *shiver*. Robbie and I were playing outside when I saw this HUGE bug walking over the rocks. I pointed it out to Robbie and he started following it.
Then I said "You want to pet it?" Totally joking! I had no idea...
That he would reach out and pet it. Blagh!
My hysterical gasping probably clued him in that he was doing something wrong because he immediately let go - but the bug stiffened up, flipped over and played dead (it really was pretending - I've seen them doing it and I checked the bug later - it was fine).
I didn't want Robbie to feel bad and I didn't know if he knew what "dead" meant so I said
"Oh...the bug is sleeping"
to which he said...
"No. It's dead" and walked away to play another game.
