Today was a work day. Sometimes we teach the kids things. And sometimes the kids (and/or their parents) teach us things.
It was share day today for the letter sound of “v.” Saw lots of vegetables (real and fake) and oh so many velociraptor toy dinosaurs. However, the coolest item of the day was by far the “venomous” scorpion.
They found it in their basement. And not the first one, they said! Yikes. This one was rather small, thank goodness. Here’s a photo of what I’m guessing is an adult one from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
So today I learned we have scorpions in Missouri. I had no idea. Only one kind, a striped bark scorpion. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen one. You can read more about these “lovely” creatures here if you’re interested.
Hopefully, I don’t find any at my house. Do you have scorpions in your area?

Day 104/365
Oh, no, thank God, we don’t have that in our country. I’m even afraid of spiders.
I wasn’t too happy to find out we have them near us although my husband says we aren’t going to see any at our house, too damp around here. I’m not really scared of most spiders unless they are super large or get too close to me. Usually though, I just catch any in the house and release them back outside.
You’re a brave girl. I’m afraid of anything with many legs.
