What I Love About Sadie: Part 3,409,245

8-year-old Sadie kept hounding me for a Praying Mantis habitat and eggs.  How could I refuse?  While I was on Insect Lore, looking to order her request, I saw a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach habitat as well.  "How would you also like a couple of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches?" I asked her when she crawled out of bed this morning looking like hell warmed over (like mother, like daughter, eh?).  Quoth the Sadie: "I would LOVE it!!!!"

It's not for nothing we call her The Bug.

You are a good Mom. I like bugs, but I would draw the line at roaches of ANY kind. lol

I know, roaches=eeew! But, MHC's are really cool. We handle them at the local science center all the time. We'll see how Sadie likes having 2 around. Mantises are also interesting pets, I hear. They live several years and you can feed them crickets? Hmmm . . .

You'll have to post pics and let us know how it goes. :)

BTW, I deleted my Twitter account since I hadn't used it since 2009. If you ever join Facebook, let me know. :)

My firstgrader Alek is writing a report on hissing cockroaches right now :-) Your beautiful picture came very handy and in the right time. Thanks!
