The order of events at the Libutti house on Saturday afternoon:
2:30pm- Michaela finds a tiny green caterpillar and wants to keep it as a pet. Mommy tells her that it's Mommy and Daddy will miss it if we take it inside. Daddy helpfully chimes in that he doesn't think caterpillars have mommies and daddies and Mommy shoots him a dirty look.
2:35pm- A new home is made for said caterpillar, now named Shermie, out of a plastic container. Michaela emphasizes the need for air holes on top. Grass, leaves , a stick and a little water is put into the container.
3pm- Michaela starts watching SpongeBob Squarepants and Mommy and Jenna lay down for a little nap. Shermie quietly hangs out in his new abode.
3:05-3:30pm- Michaela decides to take Shermie out to play.
3:45pm- "Look, Mommy, Shermie is on the remote."
4pm- "Mom... Shermie's crawling on you!"
4:13pm- Mommy starts to wonder how much more 'fun' Shermie can handle.
4:17pm- "Mommy, Shermie's not moving anymore."
4:30pm- "Mommy... I squished Shermie. I'm really sorry." (Probably not as sorry as Shermie is/was.)
4:31pm- Mommy asks Michaela to wipe Shermie's remains off with a napkin and wash her hands.
So much for watching Shermie transform into a beautiful butterfly.
