I Blame You Lot For Not Commenting

So, our household gets food delivered 3 times a week from Aussie Farmers. Including on Wed a big box of fruit and veg (yum!).

Yesterday we got lots of yummy veg. No spinach, which is sad, but (nearly as good) we got a tub of salad mix. I saw it, grabbed it, and cradled it to me.

"Mine!"

"That's right," Kal said, "That's your baby. Although, then you are going to eat your baby."

"I'm turning into Joab," I said.

"Argh!" said Kal.

"Hey, now that the babies have grown up, and are all dying, we can give them to him to eat now."

"I wonder how moths would taste? Flaky I expect."

"I think floury. Should we find out?"

Joab, I would be very, very careful about your food in the future ;p

I actually think some cultures eat moths too...

Hey Joab, I told all the kids that you want to eat the silkworms. They want you to come in and demonstrate.

I'm SERIOUS.

My kids are WEIRD!

I reckon the kids think Joab is some kind of monster now.

Some of them do. Some of them think he is the coolest person ever. Darcy really, REALLY wants Joab to come over and eat silkworms.

I even showed them photos (of Joab from my blog). The wonders of the internet.

So Joab, if some kids run after you on the street screaming to eat / not eat the silkworms, then they are my kids.

I could let you know my secret tips for taming them, but that would be less fun (for me).
