Last night when Hardingfele and I went to work out, she told
me this blogworthy story: her daughter Rockstar Tailor recently got a pet walking stick
bug from a classmate, which she named Eco. Hardingfele was on the phone the other night when she heard a bloodcurdling scream, and when she
asked what was wrong, Rockstar Tailor told her she had accidentally broken one
of Eco’s legs off so they had to go visit the emergency veterinary clinic.
Hardingfele said bugs are not to be cuddled like cats, and the vet would just
tell them, “Now you have a five-legged bug.”
After our workout, I stopped by to meet Eco. Hardingfele
peered at the bug and said, “Now it only has four legs! Have you been cuddling
it again?” Rockstar Tailor was nonchalant: “My friend says they will grow back.”
So I am wondering how few legs this poor bug will end up with. When I asked
Light Bright if this was a blogworthy story, she said yes and suggested I draw
a rendition of Eco, so here it is.

Very cool drawing. He can use a twig for a cane. So far only 5 legs, the 6th one has not grown bag. Bugs are not plush and they are not to be petted on laps. I prefer cats
I prefer rabbits.
