I get right inside his head, and when I saw him eat that locust, I took it very personally! It’s not the first time he’s traumatized me. The fact that he goes to the bathroom in FRONT of people, is trauma alone! All dogs, wild squirrels, anything that is potential ‘road kill’ loves me. It’s my ‘cross to bear’…even while being Jewish! My husband saw a wild squirrel climb up my leg once. It must be my aura, but maybe that’s why I’m so affected by their deaths. Even BUGS have families?My children are doomed. I remember when my eldest was a toddler, she used to say, “inchworms are my friends!” 🙂
