Zoo Insect

I am not an insect fan because I hate it when it crawls. Even if I am not a big fan of insects, I am fascinated by them. I can watch them only if we are divided by mesh and glasses LOL. But I know insects are a good educational tool for kids. It would be easier to discuss metamorphosis through the use of butterflies. It would also be easy to tell them the difference of few and many using centipedes.

For parents who are on the look for a good place to introduce your kids to insects, O. Orkin Insect Zoo is the best place for you. This zoo is a special exhibit on the second floor of Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. In here, visitors can observed live insects and crawling animals. If you want to experience feeding a tarantula, this place is for you. I am arachnophobia but in this place (knowing it is safe) I might try to feed a tarantula. And for curious little minds, their questions about insects and legged animals will be entertain, they might even catch a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly.

So the next time you and your kids are out, go bring them to the zoo.

My Future

Whenever I see senior citizens still working their A off, it breaks my heart. I think of my mom and promised myself I will never allow that to happen to her. Then I think of me and my hubby. Will me kids let us on the road? begging for food or working so that we can eat?

Maybe not but still one can never be too sure. And I don’t have any plans on asking my kids to help me. I never like the idea that the old generation instilled in us. You know what they say about having a lot of kids, of being assured that when you grow older, your kids will take care of you. Whenever someone told me about it, I always answer back that I did not give birth for a caregiver. I want to have kids because I now I am capable of nurturing another life not because I expect my kids to nurture me when I am old.

My mom shares the same sentiment (but sometimes it hurts to hear it from her), she always said that she does not expect us to take care of her when she’s old. Although at times, she would tease my OCness and ask what if she’s old and can no longer clean up her mess. To which, I will jokingly tell her, I’ll just kick you on the butt. (don’t be offended as me and my mom talks like that, we believe that comedy can make us young haha).

Ah yes, my future.. hmm.. we’ll see later. I bet on the Lotto today. hihi.. and yes if I ever I win, I will treat the Marce Club haha
