Yesterday my wife caught a walking stick (insect). She put it in a plastic jar, and showed it to our son. After she showed it to him I said, "We should let it go--it will just die in that jar." She said, "don't worry, I poked air holes in the lid." I didn't argue.
I was heading to work early this morning and saw the sad little walking stick in his plastic container prison. So I opened the door and set him free. Then I put the plastic container back on the shelf with the lid slightly ajar. And I left for work. I've been wondering all morning what my wife's reaction was when she saw the empty container with its lid ajar. I wonder how long she looked around the house for little Mr. walking stick? That'll teach her to kill poor, innocent bugs. lol
