They will EAT Me!

Yali stuck his face in mine; so serious. “Mom, do you like fires, or rainbows?”

“Well, I guess I like fires better…”

He looked intently into my eyes. “I like rainbows. I like green. I like green rainbows, and black rainbows.”

Later in the afternoon while we waited on Puck to come out to the car…

“Spiders will kill me, Mom.”

“Yali, it’s okay. The spiders won’t kill you.”

“Yes, they will! They will eat me! And I will say, ‘Spiders I’m not food!’ And they will say, ‘Aw…’”

“Buddy, they really won’t eat you.”

“Yes they am! They will EAT me!”
