#81, Do they bite?
We walked up to the big empty field near our house. As we approached it we saw a huge swarm of tiny flies. They were congregating around a garbage can that had not been emptied in pandemic times and was filled with bags of dog poop. Just one garbage can but the swarm stretched like 20 feet across the entrance of the field.
Alice: “Mom, you walk through first so you can tell us if they bite.”

Tonight I was reading them The Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf. As I read “The third pig decided to build a brick house. She spent all her money on bricks and mortar, but the man at the hardware store gave her a sandwich,” I found myself idly thinking, “Man! These pigs get to go everywhere!”
