Me: (Just about to lose my mind) Yes, Kate?
Kate: GREEN BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: (rolling eyes) Yep, I've seen it. You found a green bug.
Kate: YES! TOUCH IT! GREEN BUG TOUCH!
Sound of me gnashing my teeth together to keep from screaming or stomping on the green bug so it dies and I never have to hear about the green bug EVER AGAIN. What do I do to make this stop?!?! Oh, right, what every good mother does...
Me: Kate, do you want to watch some TV now?
Blessed silence from the green bug fan club. Now if only I could get Kate to watch Dora on mute.

What you don't want to touch a green bug? I had an experience today with a lizard. It involved removing it from the dog's mouth while Lily was screaming in horror for the poor lizard.
