When Dad got home from work on Monday, he asked Landon to come "front and center" because he had something to say to him. Landon walked over a little apprehensively to where Dad was standing. "Yes, Dad?" "Landon, you remember when we were in Fall Creek Falls and I didn't buy you a souvenir?" "Yes, Sir." "Well son, that was all I could think about while I was working today. I thought about how disappointed you were and felt really bad about not buying you something. *at this remark Landon breathes a sigh of relief* "So, today when I went into Southern States to buy chicken feed I looked around frantically for something I could buy you as a way to make me feel better about myself. I looked hopelessly for something you would enjoy. Then I found it. As soon as I saw it I instantly knew that that was the thing for you. So, here you are son. Your very own . . . .
edible crickets!!!"
Note: The entire time Daddy was telling this narrative, I was unsuccessfully trying not to laugh because I knew all along what he was leading up to.
Landon is the outdoor survival expert in our family. If we suddenly became stranded on a desert island, Landon would keep us all from starving with his knowledge of edible plants and insects. Here he is shown with a cricket. (which he really did eat)
Yum!
Too funny!
ReplyDeleteOnce Isaac ate a worm, but only because Daniel did it and Isaac didn't want to be "showed up" by his little brother.:)We actually took a video of him eating it- it's on our blog, but you'll have to search for it. It's labeled "video". -Kendal
