Creepy Crawlies

[Mike047]

When our children were young, there were various crazes for different  but unusual pets, one our children's friends had a pink toed tarantula (that's another story), but ours had stick insects. Sound ok?

 

Well, it came to the time when we were having our Tuesday evening group study (do you remember those days?), anyway, back to the main point. It just so happened that the fixing mechanism on the stick insects terrarium, came loose and a number of them got out. The case was just behind two elderly sisters, one of whom was hyper-sensitive to small creatures. I could see from my vantage point two of these creatures climbing the wall behind her, as could the brother sat next to me. It would have been ok if another couple's child hadn't said "look at those big grasshoppers on the wall" pointing as he said it. I blush to think about it, but the sister did ask to change groups, and I can't blame her.

There always be Creepy Crawlies. I hope kids will enjoy it while making mud pies.
