We found my cousin when she was a baby munching on a coakroach with much intent. All that we were able to take away were antenae... she isn't a vegeterian so I guess it depends on then bug...

When my two older brothers were 8 and 9, my brother Bill dared my brother David to eat one of those big tomatoe worms. So, David, picked it up and bit it right in half. Billy threw up.

Kay - you're really cracking me up this morning.

Also, I've never heard of Kangaroo Dreams so I looked it up. Here's one thing I found:

Kangaroo Dreams

* To see a kangaroo in your dreams, you will outwit a wily enemy who seeks to place you in an unfavorable position before the public and the person you are striving to win.
* If a kangaroo attacks you, your reputation will be in jeopardy.
* If you kill one, you will succeed in spite of enemies and obstacles.
* To see a kangaroo's hide, denotes that you are in a fair way to success.
* To dream of hearing kangaroos, is a prognostic of misfortune and unusual dependence on others. If any sick person ask you what they are, foretells there will be surprising events in your present and future.
* For a woman to see them, signifies she will have a quarrelsome husband or lover.

I caught these two delightful little girls last week when we had our trip to the beach - had to use zoom and I did feel guilty taking photos of kids I didnt know, but this is what happens when you are deprived of your own grandchildren

Beach Folly

Now Inky, your layout is lovely, but best not get in the habit of photographing strange children. I have 4 wonderful children for you to photograph. I'd be happy to send them all over to you for a month of cultural exchange
