Werewolves Are Wild

<Originally Published December 8, 2013>

Werewolves are really dangerous.  They eat meat, and also they are not dogssssssssssssss. 

Now, next.  Well, I know all about another wild animal.  It's an snake.  Snakes are in many places, they are everywhere, including Antarctica.  It's really cold in Antarctica. 

Next!  Now, I know another sea wild animal.  It's called the cone-shell.  Now, the cone-shell is really, really dangerous.  It shoots spikes at you.  That's how it defends itself. 

Next.  Now, if you are bitten by a werewolf, the next whole moon you'll be a werewolf.  Oh, you write something you should say, I'll tell you what you should say.  <<Ben gets angry when I typed the above.>>  Now, Next!

<<Ben says I should say something I want to say.  Werewolves, snakes, and cone-shells.  Huh.  Not a clue how those came together.>>

Now, next.  The best thing you shall do when you're catched by a werewolf... R-U-N!!! 

Now, next.  If you are catcheded by a snake, best thing to do is to just kill it.

If you want a cone-shell, be more careful just go awayyyy.

Next, oh, by the way, frogs are really helpful.  But, most frogs have protection.  Some, such as the tomato frog, can puff up their body. 

Oh, Mom, write it below...

<<Ben tells me what to type here.  I've sent him off to do his chores and deleted "my" comments. 

Instead, I think it is interesting that Ben has decided to play with asking me to type not only what he says, but how he says it.  It is rather a struggle for me as the daughter of an English major it makes me cringe.  That said, it is a learning process and an opportunity for self expression.  I'm going to keep saying that until the desire to correct passes.  This may take a while.

As for the topic(s) of this blog, your guess is as good as mine as to the source!  I will say he has been on the cone-shell theme for over two weeks, frogs are revisited periodically, but snakes and werewolves?  The mind of a six-year-old boy!>> 

That's all!

<<Ben's teacher, Mr. Kevin, commented on the original post:

          Hey. I love it. We have a book at school called, "Never smile at a monkey" It has about 15 different animals that have evolutionary traits that could be dangerous for humans. That is where the cone shell stuff is coming from, I think. 

          Also, tomato frog is a reference from brainpopjr. I can't remember exactly which video. >>
