Flies

We have had several flies flying around the kitchen this past week. I finally had Dad stop and get a flyswatter the other day, because they were absolutely driving me crazy. Tonight I swatted two of them. #1 has been trying to get them for days. Of course, the first thing he asked was, "Can we cook them and eat 'em?" Gross! Why did he ask that? I just said, "I'm not cooking it, but you can eat it if you really want to." So, he picked it up and licked it! I really think he would have eaten it if I wouldn't have said , "Yuck!" Oh well. I love boys.

He also picked the biggest watermelon in the garden today (it was a little smaller than a baseball) just because he wanted to see what would happen if he threw it. He'd been asking me all morning if he could play ball with it. I told him no, but I guess he had other plans. There are still several smaller ones out there, so maybe we will get to eat a watermelon from the garden this year. I hope.
