Mmmmm....Pill Bugs


I officially became the grossest, coolest mom today. Mya was playing with her neighbor friend today and they were collecting pill bugs (I grew up calling them potato bugs.) Ryan and I were sitting on the porch taking a break from yard work, (hardly) and up comes Mya bringing us bugs for lunch. She gave me a rolled up bug and told me to eat my lunch. I asked her.."Do you really want me to eat this?" She told me yes. SO....I stuck that little guy on my tongue, took a swig of Diet Pepsi and down he went. Mya just kept asking me,"what did it taste like?" It was too funny. I told her bugs had lots of protein. Later, when Rylee was home, Mya proceeded to tell her about me and my bug eating experience. Rylee just kept telling Mya to quit lying and when I told her it was true I thought she was going to start crying. It was too funny. It must have been all that Man VS Wild I've been watching. At least Bear Grylls would have been proud!

You are brave! I would eat a roly poly any day over digging meat out of a dead animal to eat like Bear does- love that show too!

I can't believe you actually did that! I can barely swallow a real pill! I used to call them potato bugs too!

WOAH!!! What were you thinking? That officially makes you one of the best mom's ever. I can't believe Mya could convince you to do that...I sure hope the thing was dead before you ate it! :)
