Yo, J. Did you just say sneak them past my son? What is he afraid of bugs or something? Easy way to cure that is to let him see that they aren't able to kill him but do have a painful sting, and he'll get over it. I used to be an inconsolable mess at the sight of a spider. You know what I did? I went out and bought a cage, some sand, and the biggest damn spider that I could find. Now I'm hooked. I'm about to become a crabber too. So, my fear's gone.
