Caterpillars must become butterflies

Yard day! About every 3 months or so I order the family to head outside and help clean up the back yard. No fun, no fun at all. We have to trim trees, pick up dog poop, rake and mow the lawn, you know the drill. The last job we had today was taking some big limbs to the dumpster about 3.78 miles from the house. During that ride Brooke, who went with me, and I had a funny short conversation that has turned into my next blog. She asked “How do caterpillars know that they are suppose to turn into butterflies?” So here is 11.73 conversations that happen just prior to butterfly hood.

1. My back is hurting and I have some kind of growth happening.
2. I am so tired of crawling around, I feel like crawling into a sleeping bag for a few weeks.
3. Did you see what happen to Danny the other day, he sprouted wings, I want wings too. Wings, what are wings? Those things on Danny’s back, look there he goes now. Oh those, I though they were called Microchiroptera! Yea, you could call them that too, Don’t talk to me any more, Bill.
4. I heard that hanging upside down was good for back pain, give it a shot.
5. I’ve heard that humans go through this crazy little thing call puberty, I’m so glad nothing like that happens to me!
6. Last night, in the dark, I accidentally crawled across a huge pile of dog poop, I guess there is no way around that problem.
7. If I had wings, so help me I would fly straight into a car’s windshield and show them who’s the boss!
8. HEY DANNY, BILL AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE DID YOU GOT THOSE MICROCHIROPTERAS!
9. Oh Billy, what are you doing in the bathroom for so long, turn the water off and come out right now!
10. Hey man you should get into a cocoon, all the cool caterpillars are doing it. You are cool, aren’t ya?
11. Wow my mom was right! She said if I keep that up I was going to grow wings.
