Whats a bug?

In the car, the conversation went as follows...
Ben: "mom, what's a bug"
Me: "a bud?" (Lizzie and I have been discussing the buds on the trees and seasons)
Ben: "no, a bug?"
Me: "like an insect..bug?"
Ben: "I don't know, the coaches keep saying something about a bug and I don't understand."
Me: "laughing, a bug! Like Squash the bug..when your batting?"
Ben: "Yes, I want to do what they are telling me to do but I don't know what they are talking about."
Me: "They are trying to get you to turn your body when you are batting by you turning your foot"
Ben: "Will you show me?"
Me: Still laughing to myself.."when we get home I will show you."

Now at home...

Me: "ok, when your batting this is what they want you to do" and I show him. "they are saying squash the bug so you will turn this way and it is like you are "squashing a bug."
Ben: Looking at me like this is an insane way to teach someone just says "ok, I will try to do that from now on"
ENTER LIZZIE :)
Lizzie: "mom, thats not how I would squash a bug. I would do it like this" and does her own version of squashing a bug with her foot.
Me: "Lizzie, its not a real bug"
Lizzie: "well, thats not really how you squash a bug, I would do it like this." and she shows me again :)

Oh, how I absolutely love my kids! What joy and laughter they bring me, even in the crazy moments! I can't wait until Isaac gets to add his personality to our conversations!
