Charis and I were doing school a school project about the lifecycle of ladybugs. You know, the eggs, the larva, the pupa, the adult?

And as Charis was coloring the little eggs on a leaf she asked me:

“Mom, do ladybugs have babe-n-sitters (her word for babysitters)?”

I laughed and said, “No, why?”

“Well who keeps her babies when she has to leave?  Poor Mama Ladybug, she must be so tired.”
