Facts of life

Froglet *thrusts disgusting but colourful mess under la rainette's nose*: Look, mommy!

la rainette *tries hard not to say ewwwwww*: Er, what is it?

Froglet's friend: It's a bug, but we didn't know if he was friendly, so we squished him, and then it turned out he was friendly after all, but he was already dead.

Froglet and friend *run off to play with unlucky friendly-but-dead bug*

Oh, well. That's one of the less savoury facts of life, I guess: unfriendly animals tends to be friendlier when dead.

PS: I am sure you guys know of many examples where this is not true, and I hereby ask you to please keep them to yourself until after dinner. Thank you.

No gross animal stories here.

Oh, good! The squished bug was gross enough... (Even unsquished, it would have had a hard time: the girls made a teeny bug pool and tried to, uh, teach it to swim or give it something to drink, I am still not sure. They had a tremendous time, anyways)

Geez, if that's not a poignant commentary on human nature, then I've never heard one...
