I forgot to explain why I titled Kaleb's post after an ex-special forces guy that eats bugs. Kaleb loves Bear Grylls so much that one day he wanted to write him a letter. He drew him pictures and used his precious savings (he's pretty stingy) to mail his letter all the way to England. A few weeks went by. I forgot about it, as did Kaleb. Then one day he got a package from London! He was so excited. They sent him an autographed picture of Bear and a letter. He then followed me around, bugging me for a frame for his picture until I finally relented. He set to work painting the frame because "you can't have a black frame mom." Ta-da. Here's his hero:
I'm not so sure it's the best hero to have, but at least Bear is a chief scout. And masterful at eating those bugs.
Kaleb doesn't even need to eat bugs in the wilderness. One day we had this conversation:
"Mom I'm not going to take any food on my next hiking trip!"
"Why?"
"Cause I can just eat the skin on my lips. It tastes like chicken!"
