and that's where babies come from


I went to the park today and a little boy around 5 or six came over to Adia to show her a ladybug he found.
I saw an ash grey ladybug nearby which I thought was a baby. Turns out real baby ladybugs are scary monsters.
"That's not a baby!" the kid tells me. "Ladybugs are first eggs then they turn into a caterpillars and then they get a clitoris ..."
I tried really hard not to laugh.

I used to work at a place called Clitoris.

I was the manager.

Why does Spencer think he's funny?

Man-ager? I think in German they call it the Handler. But that's another story.

Interesting. My daughter found a grey ladybug in the vegetable garden yesterday. I've identified it as a Coccinelidae (duh!), genus Olla. But I have no idea of its predator uses. I hope it eats aphids as his cousins...
