Sarah the Lady Bug

Mary Bratton found a lady bug at school, put it in her lunch box and brought it home. She named her Sarah. I assume all lady bugs have to be SHE'S. A male lady bug just doesn't make sense. anywho....She kept it in her hand and held it and then finally put it in a bowl with a top on it so it wouldn't crawl out.
Tonight we told her that she had to let the ladybug go. We told her that Sarah the lady bug would die if it stayed inside in the bowl.
Mary Bratton cried and cried. We put her to sleep and she kept coming out crying. Tal said that she was exagerating and milking it…. I told him to give her a break… the girl just lost her lady bug!
She wants a pet that she can keep in her room. I told her that I pet in her room would stink. I told her that we already had Delta and Beau and they both stink so just to play with them. She isn’t satisfied.

Hey! We can relate.....we bought hermit crabs for them to keep in their room. Cheap, low maintenance, and live a long time. Just a thought!! :)
