Bug boy? What is it with bugs and boys? Am I the only boy that was never into bugs? I mean, it’s not like a screamed and ran away like a little girl, but they never held my attention that much. OK… maybe that one time when I discovered that magnifying glasses were good for more than just looking at things (should a future minister admit to such knowledge?) but for the most part I left bugs alone and brushed them off when they tried not to leave me alone. I’m beginning to think I missed out on something.
When I see bugs I run away and scream like a little girl….
Well a hairy little girl anyway
Tim, congratulations on being the first to answer.
