Conversations with Batman: On Bugs

What is it with boys and bugs? (And boys and dinosaurs? And things with wheels? And things that are gross? And things that eat other things?)

A conversation with Jacob from across the room while I'm feeding Drew...

Jacob: I found a bug.
Me: Is it dead or alive?
Jacob: It's dead. Wait... it's alive.
Me: Does it move all by itself?
Jacob: No. It don't.
Me: That means it's dead.
Jacob: Uh oh. I broke it.

Jacob: What are you talking about?
Brown Grandma: We're talking about how Uncle John used to have a hole in his heart.
Jacob: Was it from a bug bite? Did a bug bite a piece? Like a beetle?

Jacob invented his first super hero today: Big Bug Superman. He drives a big bug car that's bigger than a monster truck and he eats yellow food. It's better than what my mom and I though he said originally, Big Butt Superman.
