ick... ok just ugly.. not harmful.
Recently my youngest son wanted to purchase a test tube alien grow kit. They are in the Sears Wish Book....(yeah didn't you know you can grow your own aliens now a days?! hehe) Anyways, he really took the time to read about it. He said to me "Mom i would really have to take care of this because there are good and bad ones..You have to be careful which one you choose. And what you teach it." He really pondered if it was worth his birthday money or not, and if in fact Sears was the only place you could only buy them, as they let on to believe. And fact: Sears is not the only place you can buy them!....the other day in Walmart, down one of the many toy isles, behold the ugly alien guys were there as well. Which brings me back to the ugly part. My Benny seeing the crazy things started about it all over again.
BEN:"Mom i really wish dad would let me buy one of these."
ME: "oh?? did dad say no?"
BEN: ...sigh.. "yeah he said they were to ugly..that they looked like demons"
Me: ...stopping abruptly to stared at Ben ..."really?""he said that?".. me a tad puzzled ..
BEN: "yeah"
Me: "let me see them" ..examining them..."oh they are kinda evilish ugly.."
BEN: "not all of them are as ugly"
Me: " humm yeah some are just creepy ugly"
BEN: "i really wanted to grow one"
Me: "i can see what dad is saying Ben ... but lots of things are creepy ugly"
BEN: stares at me
Me: "well lots of things are human made ugly.. but God made lots of ugly things as well... eesh .. what about that fish with the light on his head ... the one dad showed us the other day?"
BEN: "oh yea, he was mean too mom. And spiders are freaky, in some places there are alot of different ones and if they were as big as a house we would really be scared."
Mom: "Ben spiders aren't big as a house anywhere"
BEN: "i know mom but if they were they would be really scary, we would think they looked like demons"
Mom: (*thinking*...stay on track kid..) "yes i see ... but they are nasty looking without being that big"
BEN: "i am going to talk to Dad again"
Me: "yea i think you should especially if that was the only reason dad had that you couldn't buy it. i think it would be good for you to look into it a bit more.
Later on at home when dad returns from work:
BEN: "dad those test tube aliens are sold at walmart"
Dad: "hum"...walking and greeting his household..
BEN: "Spiders aren't as big as houses... they looked so cool...mom saw them...but they are there.
Me: hearing his opening debate ??? errr, i mean opening the conversation to chat about the ugly de... aliens.... what the heck? huh? Ben ?? you are making no scene??.. shacking my head in quiet confusion....
.....a rush of brotherly voices over throw his....as they all rush downstairs with there father....
He remains upstairs and comes near me....
BEN: "Mom .. i can't remember what i was suppose to say...you know about God and evil and........sigh"
Me: "Ben it wasn't a speech, you were just going to talk about the things God made ugly... that not all ugly things were necessarily bad or evil.
He didn't hear me... he had already left to go find his brotherhood of men downstairs.
hehe well i guess we may never have a grow alien in our house.. lol which is fine.. well we do have molli.. (LOL) .....Just goes to show, not to meddle with the Boyz and the rules of their club. hahaha
Here is a picture of the little devils.. er you know what i ment.. lol the aliens ...hehe
And i really don't care if we can or can't purchase these odd little toy/experiment things. But based on ugly face factor? ..hummm. now really? i would have to agree to disagree. Many little critters are as, or more ugly than these weird aliens, and they live in our own home. Take for instance the pseudo scorpion. Now he is creepy .. especially when your sitting on your throne and you look down and suddenly you realize you aren't sitting there alone. eeeeeSH. He is in fact very useful... as scary as he looks...he is harmless, although he is a predator. But he eats what you don't see and what you really don't want to see... ick .. dust mites and tiny little bugs, although he does eat some bigger ones like the house fly. And take the whole under the sea thing... have you seen some of the creatures down there? Its not all clown fish...thats for sure...common now there are some incredible ugly's down there. (Many in which we eat willingly) *smile* Anyways, there is my weird ugly rant.
These are also not a nice bunch...and you can't see them... The dust mite
ANd finally the predator of the day... but remember he is on your side!
WHATS THAT BUG?
A great link for what you might find creepy crawling in or out of your home.

i am not sure why blogger changed my size of font? and i am just as puzzled why i can't change it to a civil size? oh well ...
I love that the font was huge. It made me take you seriously. I thought you were very sure of your opinion.
Some people think snakes are evil, and they are not even ugly.

Sorry I haven't commented forever...My laptop is dead and so I have limited time on the computer these days (which is probobly a good thing!)
I think the ugliest of all those alien things is the pink one in the front. But they rest just look like bugs!
You must let us know if Ben does get one!
Ummm.. How does your husband know what demons look like? Just another valid point I think on Benny's side.
HAHAHA oh Moriah.. you crack me up.
