The typical Roly Poly as we like to call it!
So the story goes a little something like this...we were enjoying a little lunch outside at Grandma's house. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the food and the company. Charlee comes up to me and shows me she has found a Roly Poly Bug. Out of no where I say "Charlee, I will pay you a dollar if you eat that Roly Poly Bug." Why would a mother say this to her child? I have no idea! But it was wrong...probably! She just stares at me like "hmmmmm....a dollar?" Then Aunt Tammie says "Charlee, I will give you 5 dollars if you eat that Roly Poly Bug!!!" Charlee then confirms that if she eats this bug we will definitely give her $6.00. She fiddled with the bug and continued pondering if eating this bug was worth the money! Next thing I know, Charlee rolls the Roly Poly Bug up like this....
Grabs her drink, puts the bug into her mouth, take a swallow of juice and down the Roly Poly goes! She immediately holds out her little hand and says "I want my SIX DOLLARS!!!" I about died! I really didn't think she would do it, what little girl eats a bug? And better yet, what mother entices her child with money to eat a bug? But, of course we paid up and Charlee went to Target and bought herself a hula hoop!

Charlee, GO GIRL!! You are much braver than Grandma would be. You will forever be able to say that you have eaten a bug. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but I think you can blame it on your mom. Hey, and you got a new hula hoop! That's way cool. We love you Miss Charlee!
As sassy as that girl is I'm not suprised at all haha! I could totally picture it all as I was reading the story. That is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time! We need to do dinner or lunch sometime. I miss you!
I'm so glad that you found our blog. You need to tell Kathy to send us an invitation so we can add her to our list to keep in touch. I think that is awesome that you're daughter ate the roly poly. It's a business woman in the making. Hope you are all well and send us an invite for Mike's deployment blog. We'll keep him in our prayers.

Well bear grillis (or how ever yuo say his name ) the man vs wild guy eats bug all the time and he is ok so why not for money. Well i know i always say this but i need to call you and hang out some time hope your summer is great take care
Sam just ate one of those last night. I didn't offer him money, though. He just picked it up and put it in before I could get to it! It made me think of this post. Too funny (and a little yucky)!
