If you spend much time with little kids at all, you've probably read this book by Eric Carle,
The Very Hungry Caterpillar. If not, here's a short synopsis...caterpillar emerges from an egg and spends a week eating his way through various fruits...Monday, he eats one apple, Tuesday, two oranges, etc., until he gets to Saturday where the caterpillar binges on sweets and processed meats. This leaves him with a stomach ache right before he spins himself into a cocoon and emerges as a butterfly. Cute book.
Stella has taken to "reading" books to Davis. The other day she read to him about the hungry caterpillar. As she neared the end of the story, I heard..."Sunday he ate a nice green leaf and he felt better. THEN, he ate a RACCOON... and it turned him into a butterfly!!"
So, the details are a little off. I can't blame her logic. That caterpillar seems like he'd eat anything... :)
