Calm....

I've never used the term.

I get my daughter (only a toddler) to hold the worms and centipedes when she's helping me in the garden. They other kids all say "Yuk" and run away, they're so detached from nature, that makes me sick. In my opinion it's the insects and things that help make the world go round and people shouldnt be disgusted by them. Took the sprog to a farm yesterday and a chicken had escaped and was getting caught up in the wire trying to get to the other chickens. Their stupid mother was saying, "don't touch it, it might peck you" so before it injured itself I went and picked it up. I'm sure they'll happily munch on their McNuggets though. Some kids I used to look after were terrified of spiders because their mother was hysterical about them, I soon had them picking them up and we always gave the spiders names and said hello to them!
