Anything that resembles a bug is classically known as a "shoo-bug."
It's rather cute and hilarious.
As you may recall, there were not many critters in Denver, CO such as flies, so when we moved last fall any insect presented a serious problem. We told Madeline they presented no harm and just to say, "shoo bug." Well, to Madeline that meant any insect was a shoo-bug. So we....being Jeremy....has been requested 5-6x/day to kill any potential shoo-bug. If a piece of dirt looks as though it could be a shoo-bug, she requires him to remove it as well, just incase it evolves into a bug. A dead bug you ask? Well, of course they require a final swat to assure it's going nowhere. Yes, ants, flies, spiders....all shoo-bugs. The look on Madelines face is priceless when Jeremy goes to kill the shoo-bug. You would think that bug (or piece of dirt in some cases) was going to jump at Madeline.
The old saying, "kids say the darnest thing," is very accurate. Especially when it comes to Shoo-bugs in our house.
If you think Shoo-bugs present humor.....just wait until we fill you in on Madeline's appreciation, or lack there of, for birds. This morning she looked at the screen door at a bird on the deck and told it to stop talking....apparently she doesn't like birds chirping either. Crazy kid!
Luke? Well, he is doing great and taking to our family very well. He's a big fan of his sister, Madeline. He has a 4-month check up in a few weeks. Crazy how time flies! We're guessing he's about 15 lbs. now. He's a strong little tike and love, love, loves to talk to women.....I am nervous already. He made a visit to the University this week and wow, did he capture the hearts and smiles of the ladies on campus. I like to think I'm a lucky lady myself with 2 men in my life....even though there is almost a 35 year age gap between the two.
