Grasshoppers

This morning, Claire and I found a grasshopper in my room. So, I sent her off to get a jar to catch the thing in. We caught it, and she ran around showing everyone the grasshopper. Well, of course, Andrew got jealous and wanted to have a jar with a grasshopper, too! So, my housekeeper found a jar, went out to the door and found this:



So she scooped them all up and put them ALL into another jar:



Andrew wasn’t quite so keen on it at first, but after I showed him that they couldn’t get out, he thought it was the coolest thing:



And just stood there holding it and staring at it and talking to them!!!

It was certainly very interesting! My housekeeper says she loves to eat them–that they’re very good! They boil them and then fry them up! Yummy...
