Hard to say which was more in awe....the little girl or the butterfly! I only know that if this were my daughter she would have been HYSTERICAL.....screaming and swatting as if her life depended on it...........she is utterly terrified of butterflies and moths. (this is a girl who would be in heaven if she could hold a snake, mind you, and once found a tiny green snake without a head (lawnmower accident?), which she thought was so beautiful she took it "swimming" with her in the pool...and then when i told her to get rid of it, she chased me around the yard with it.....i have a deep-seated fear of snakes!) Once when she went into the barn to take care her horse, i heard screams that i was certain could be heard in East Jabib....i thought she was being attacked, or that something was wrong with her horse.....i dashed inside to find her paralyzed with fear because there was a big moth on the stall door! When we took our daughters to England, our friends that live there took us to tour a historic castle....on the grounds was a butterfly sanctuary.....she steadfastly REFUSED to enter it....and since we could not leave her alone wandering the castle grounds, we did not go in :( When i received 2 butterfly bushes as gifts from my students, and planted them, she told me she could not come over anymore!! She told me butterflies have teeth and are poisonous!!! (she also thought there were "Bay Whales" in Manahawkin Bay.....therefore she would not go tubing there!!) NOW do you all see why i am crazy!!!
The little girl is slightly bokehed, so i am posting this as my HBW...................deal with it!!!! ;)
