Fireflies are quite the unique little light up bugs God created.I wonder why their butts light up instead of their head.Interesting little story about fireflies in our kids past.We had gone down to St.Louis,Missouri to visit Chuck's brother and his family for a small getaway from the humdrum of life.You need them every once in awhile to stay sane.One evening as the sky began to darken,Chuck's brother Jim decided to give each of the kids a mason jar with a lid on it. He smiled and told them to have some fun catching the fireflies that every evening would filterate his whole yard.The kids loved running around in circles holding their mason jars in the air as far as their arms would reach. As the night got late and bedtime would soon arrive,they put their lids snug on their jars and brought each of their treasured captives into the house. Dan and Annette took their jars over to Jim to show him how many they had caught and tried to count them.Of course how do you count fireflies?You wait for their butts to light up.Their little butts we're flourescent with light which made our kids faces light up also with smiles.The last one to come into the house was Bryan.He came running in and proceeded to proudly lift his jar for Jim to see by taking the lid off. All the little captives we're free inside the house to enjoy flittering around whereever they felt like. It sent us into hysterics afterward. Poor Bryan his proud smile went into an immediate sad face. We all quickly tried to catch the little creatures but gave up soon afterward. You suppose two fireflies went into Noah's ark? It says two of every creature.Wouldn't it be funny if the Lord had it so that our butts lit up at night?They could be natural nightlights.Unfortunately you could never turn the light out at night. Annette and Earl's house they built had property where it would fill up with fireflies at night.They looked like twinkling stars filling the air all around you.

That's a pretty cute story Dianne. It is a "keeper"! Thank's
Hey we have to keep laughing or we'd all end up so deep into depression we would be no good for our loved ones.
