Anna Grace had a bug on her shoe in the car this evening as were preparing to depart Honey and Big Daddy's house after a wonderful meal. The look on her face was horrifying; the screams were blood curdling; the thrashing in the back seat could have taken down a small bear. Neal and I stood motionless - with the exception of me closing the van door opposite her. Jan and Tom were frozen with concern over the situation. We instructed her to get out of the car and stand by Big Daddy for protection while we searched for the monstrous bug (keep in mind the boys are all strapped in calmly while the beastly bug hut is underway.) We found no bug but asked Anna Grace to describe the bug that was on her in the car. I'm sure you will understand her need for sheer terror in the car...
It was red
Like a spider
Covered in fur
Flying in the air
With a string off its back
Wrapped around it making it straight
And was about this big (making her hand about the size of a large sand dollar)
Neal kept his composure well enough to respond, "That sounds like the worst bug in the world; no wonder you were so scared." Dean said, "I saw it..." Anna Grace interjected with great relief, "You did, Dean!" Then he said, "...it was a piece of dust."

The drama queen... dust can be scary, I'm sure!
That is great!
