One lovely morning …….

I was surprised to be greeted by this at the bedroom window.


A grasshopper decided to pay us a visit and Ashley was esctatic to see it. She stared at it for quite some time and even made some faces at the yellowish/greenish grasshopper.


Since we don’t get to see this a lot at such a close range, I quickly took the opportunity to teach Ashley a thing or two about this insect.

Me : “Ashley, can you see the two things on the grasshopper’s head” (i put 2 fingers on my head to mimic the grasshopper)

Ashley : *stared at her crazy mama and turned to look at the grasshopper*

Me : “Those 2 things on the head are called TESTICLES”.

Ashley : “TASTIKEL”

Me: *think think* OMG….what did I just teach my munchkin???!!!! “No No Ashley…..sorry….they are TENTACLES. Repeat after me, TENTACLES”.

Ashley : “TENTIKEL”

Me: “What are they called again?”

Ashley : “TENTIKEL”

Phew…………………I’m going crazy, I tell you O_O

update: i was watching barney with ashley today and one of the scenes showed some butterflies. they refer to the 2 things on the head as antennae. so i guess, tentacles are not the correct term as well? *faint*

    HA Ha mommy , what were u thinking off that time huh? Careful oh or else Little Chumsy will get mind pollution lor! BTW to me..every year around the month of 7th (Ghost Festival) I sure will be visited by Grasshopper n praying mantis. No joke from rented houses to my own house..they faithfully visit me and hopped on the front door. I told my hubby..i have a feeling it’s my grandmothers whom I was very fond of. Believe in reincarnation?

    WAH.. WAH… HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAH….. luckily you corrected her. Cannot imagine she start telling everyone she saw grasshopper with two testicles. LOL

    If not mistaken, I think you’re right. It’s call antennae. Tentacles.. I think it’s like those on snails.
