the hermit crab incident

i keep forgetting to say anything about this..the 2nd week we were here max took advantage of the local beach junk store's offer of "buy a cage get a hermit crab free". nice little cage, nice little crabbie, happy little max. a week or so into the crab's time in our family, max asked me, "what does it mean if one of his limbs comes off?" i said, "probably means he's dead." i'd have been a little more gentle if he hadn't already had plenty of experience at this. anyone who has read this blog for awhile knows where this is going...a few minutes after max pronounced the crab dead, i asked what he was going to do with it. he'd already thrown it to the alligator. he said, "oh, i already chucked it. it's what i do with all my pets."

i love that story.
