Bee End

Today, at the pool, oNe and her sisters rescued a cute little honey bee from drowning. oNe carried it, in her swim goggles, over to a grassy area. On the way, it started to crawl out of her goggles and she dropped it. I saw it crawling on the cement. oNe was unsure what to do to help it, and she was looking for a suggestion when, out of the grassy area, a lizard darted.

Oh, the horrors...

The lizard ate the bee. It was just like Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom! oNe looked like she was going to cry.

I quickly told her how the lizard was just doing what lizards do and it was all part of the cycle of life*. She held it together, and didn't cry, and we discussed the cute little lizard. (Whew.)


Bee end.



*Did I tell you how all 3 girls have decided it's wrong to eat the meat of animals and are now lacto-ovo vegetarians.
