My Pet Grasshopper

This grasshopper was in the house and I tried to pick him up. After a few times, he crawled on my hand, up my arm, into my hair, and even my eye. And after, when I was in the house, the last time when he jumped off, it was in the house in the kitchen. And I tried to pick him up again. But he crawled under the fridge. And when I came back, he was on top of the fridge. Then Daddy got it for me, and gave it to me. And then I put him outside.

    That grasshopper really liked you, Marie. He was very happy hanging on your hair and sitting on your head!

    I really liked his green eyes and his long antennae.

    I’m glad you like bugs and snakes and aren’t afraid of them.

    Such a fun pet grasshopper. I remember I liked to play with grasshoppers when I was your age too. But I never had such big ones where I lived.

    Wow, that is a big grasshopper! He moves much more slowly than I expected it to.

    […] was delighted to let this giant grasshopper crawl all over her, and she called him her pet. He seemed to like her hair. His antennae were freakishly […]

    Now THAT is a BIG grasshopper! Didn’t it feel funny or strange when he climbed on you? kind of prickly like? I’m sure I wouldn’t like to have a grasshopper as a pet, byt I’m happy you had one for a little while. Just imagine a cute girl with a grasshopper for a hat.

    What a HUGE grasshopper! I’m glad he’s your friend and that you’re not afraid of him :) Pets are lots of fun. Even when they’re bugs.
