The Animal Kingdom

Cash holds up a book on beetles from our study of bugs this month - "Look Auntie. This beetle has antlers."
Me - "Kind of. Those are actually part of his mouth. Can you say 'mandibles'?"
Cash - "Mandeebowls... They fight! My girl! My girl!"
Me - "Yes, boy deer fight mostly for girls, but beetles fight mostly for food."
Cash - "Oh."

He considers the picture for a few moments.
Cash - "That beetle is mad. He wants his lunch back. Give me back my lunch!"
He pretends to be a beetle and attacks the wall.
