The other day i popped my head out the garage door to call the kids in for chores. I was stopped short just as i started yelling the list of names when i saw Darren and Carrie standing just outside the door with huge grins on their faces.
"What are you smiling about Darren?"
"Nothing... Is it true that you can eat grasshoppers?"
"Unfortunately yes... now you'd bet.... " I looked down at Darren's hand. He was holding something.
"Darren, did you eat a grasshopper?" (He's 11!)
"Not yet....." (smiling) I stopped and looked at Carrie (almost 10). She was giggling and chewing something.
"Carrie!... Are you eating a grasshopper!??" She grinned at me and kept rolling something in her mouth! Darren laughed and popped the little something that was in his hand into his mouth!
*I screamed*
Darren chews and says
"What?! You just have to take off their wings, legs and head and they aren't that bad... i saw it on a nature show." He grimaced. I kept hooting disgust and Carrie opened her mouth to reveal a Wurthers butterscotch candy! She hadn't eaten a grasshopper after all! Darren didn't seem to care.
"They would be better with wild honey like John the Baptist ate them...now that would be really good!" I hooted again and forgot about chores and went inside. 5 minutes later Ellie comes in the house (she is the resident tattler) "Darren's eating grasshopper butts." "Thanks for the heads-up Ellie."

Laughing out loud. Aidan is still talking about Mr Curt's definition of a "real man" (electric fencing required). I can't wait to see what he says about this one! Aren't you supposed to dip them in chocolate first?
oh no. You are going to rue the day you decided to be friends with me Andrea! poop! i don't think any amount of dipping could entice me to pop one of those little suckers in my mouth.
Hehehe! I would love to be a fly on the wall at your house! Sounds fun!!!
