the ologists

According to A., not only did we move to small town America 6 months ago, but she also got her degree in bugs, and animals, and dirt.  She now refers to herself as an ologist.  Sometimes it is a bugologist, sometimes more specific such as a ladybugologist, sometimes more broad and she is just an overall ologist.  Most things I should fact check her on, but she says them with such conviction that I really feel like she may be right.  For instance, did you know that Ladybugs tell their age by the number of spots on their back; ladybugs are nocturnal; lady bugs sit on your hand if they like you.  Did you know that every single ladybug like's A.


On this day, A. was a bunnyologist and a frogologist.  We have an egress window in our basement that until we got a large plastic cover, also doubled as a unfortunate cage for many unwanted visitors.  There was a frog and a bunny trapped together.  I don't know if they were more terrified being trapped or being rescued by a giant, 1 kid with a huge blue helmeted head, and one overly excited ologist.  But, A. shouted out directions for Daddy to get a huge bucket, Mommy to get a carrot, and K. to hop like a bunny/ frog so they wouldn't feel so alone.  Surprisingly, everyone followed their direction.  I mean, you wouldn't want to go against a person with all the talent and education that it takes to have multiple ologist titles.

Could the poor thing try to camouflage itself anymore?

Anyone want to touch the frog.
New facts from the experience
1. Bunny's move very fast when they are scared of giants, ologists, and helmet heads
2. Frogs pee on your hands so you should let your daddy hold it.
