The bug

Daddy was driving Gillian home from school tonight and Gillian kept saying “Daddy, there’s a bug!” Daddy couldn’t do anything about it because he was driving. The bug was on the back of the headrest of the seat in front of her. She calmed down for a few minutes while the bug moved to the front of the headrest. But then she freaked out again when he moved to the back. “There’s a bug! There’s a bug! There’s a bug! There’s a bug!”

When I asked her about it later, she said “I’s ascared of the bug. Him’s going to get me!” (Daddy said the bug was an ant and was nowhere near her. No bugs or Gillians were harmed during the car ride.)
