He won't drive his truck unless you remove the bug. If bugs are on his cup, he won't drink. A fly lands on him, he freaks. I'm trying to "man him up," but the Mrs. can only take so much squealing before intervening. Slim is petrified of bugs. He won’t drive his truck unless you remove the bug.

Look ma, it likes ___ to eat. Yuck. I can handle the worms but ants are another story. I end up finding them everywhere.

LB got bit by an ant at daycare (god that's an ugly sentence), and now gets dead serious/intensely interested in anything crawling. Intensely interested in STOMPING THE CRAP OUT OF IT.

My son and nephew love rolllie-pollie bugs but hate it when they unroll. So they squeeze them shut. Rollie-pollies find that being squeezed in that fashion interferes with their imperative living directive. I do know that later on groups of boys will make disgusting concoctions of random items pulled from the fridge and dare each other to eat and drink them. They call it fun.

When my little one sees a bug in the house she says yuck, until I get rid of the bug. If we're outside, she is OK with the bugs. I'm sure that she has picked this all up from me. That is so funny!

Son was/is actually scared of worms. SD showed him one on the back porch the other day and Son didn't want to get near it. Then I unwittingly stepped on it moments later and kinda half-smashed it so it died a slow, excruciating death. Now Son thinks it's great fun to step on and smash worms. We also have a garter snake that lives in my flower beds. It's HUGE! The biggest snake I've ever seen IRL--not at the zoo or something. I love it. So does Son. I tried to pick it up for him the other day, and SD FREAKED on me. He said it would bite me. I don't think they bite, but it was pretty big so I backed off... Hilarious.

I'm not as fearful- was raised with 4 brothers. Face your fears!! Try touching a worm next time you see one.
