thescrappyhomeschooler Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Why does he bring home huge, ugly bugs that he finds in his office? Yes, ds2 is mildly interested in looking at them, but ds1 and I are definitely NOT! He just called to say that he captured a huge 2" cockroach (We're in Ohio, people. To us, that's huge!) at work, and was bringing it home for ds2 to see. I told him if he even considered it, I would be waiting at the end of the driveway with a flame thrower and would torch his car before he could get anywhere near the house with it. :tongue_smilie: Really. Is it some kind of disease or something to catch weirdo bugs and bring them home? The last one was the most gigantic centipede I've ever seen. I almost threw up a little when I saw it.

MtnTeaching Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We must be weird. My kids and I would think that your dh is a cool homeschool dad-dude. We actually have containers with magnifying tops attached so we can study creepy critters. They really are amazing up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomatHWTK Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lodged inside every man is a 12 year old boy. A 62 year old man is really 50 plus the 12 year old. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dh sounds so fun! I would love for my kids to examine all kinds of strange critters. Encourage it, don't kill it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
