We have recently relocated to the country from the city. It's an adjustment and a sacrifice we have made so we can have our dear Veda grow up with our family. To learn her culture, language, morals, values, etc. To be with her 2 great-grandmothers, grand-parents, aunts and uncles, 18 first-cousins and dogs! They say it takes a community to raise a child, and yes it sure does!
Today, hubby and I pulled up at a gas station in west-bubble fudge, country-town. As hubby pumped I look to the left and see a Praying Manti sitting on top of the garbage bin. On the other side, was a family van with 2 young boys (between ages 8-11). The mother tells them, "look boys, that's a paraying mantis". The boys scoot over the window to get a closer look, "that thing is huge! is that a grasshopper?". The mom replies, "no boys that is a Praying Mantis". The boys respond by saying, "Can we shoot it mom".
I was shocked to hear that. Another item to add to my worry list. Pre-plan Veda's education, school location, etc.
