Cute story

Last night we were flipping through channels on t.v. and ended up on a show called Infestation.  Talk about giving you the heebie jeebies!  There was a family who had a brown recluse spider infestation, a family with a squirrel infestation, and a family with a brown dog tick infestation. 

Adam came downstairs at some point to sit and watch t.v. with us and mentioned during a commercial break that the show was creepy.  Anyway, the family with the brown ticks had exterminators come out several times, but these ticks stay in the walls so the pesticide didn't work.  It came to the point that they had to leave the house, with nothing because they could spread ticks elsewhere.  Special exterminators had to come in to use a certain pesticide that you have to be licensed to use.

The family came back to their house and there were dead ticks literally covering the ground.  The pesticide that had been used melted their family pictures and ruined home video.  It was actually quite devastating.  I looked over and Adam had his hands up near his eyes, like he was in complete shock.  Then I noticed he was rubbing his eyes.  My sweet, sensitive (usually sarcastic) boy was crying!  I asked "Adam, is this show making you sad?" and he answered "Yes" while giggling.  I think he was giggling because he was embarrassed.  We didn't make him feel embarrassed about it though.  

  It was so cute and so sweet.  I gave him a hug and he ended up sitting next to me for the rest of the evening. 

Carson came down a few minutes later when another show had started and Adam said "The last show made me cry!"
