I was the middle child with two brothers but between us three I was verry much a Tom Boy and did all they did and more. I have never been the girl who squeals at the sight of a bug or mouse. In my youth I would find a bug and sit for long periods of time watching them do their thing and thinking how they weren't so different from us, going about their daily chores. What really fascinated me is how they moved and danced around. I didn't know at the time that I was watching mating rituals and the bugs were trying to get the attention of other bugs. I thought they just took time out from their hard work to do a jig and relax, just like people. Grass hoppers quite amusing but our pine tree full of praying mantis where the bomb.
