This morning as we were going to the car...
.
Little A : hmmm....
.
Me: What is that, Little A?
.
Little A : It's a dead bu-ug, Mom.
.
Me: What kind of bug?
.
Little A: A DEAD ONE.
.
Me: A dead grasshopper?
.
Little A: Yes, a grasshopper.
.
Me: How do you think it died?
.
Little A : Well, it smashed itself!
.
There you have it folks, the true story behind why you find dead grasshoppers in the summer - they smash themselves.
.
So sad, really.
