(A 4Chan "green-text" titled "Bug Bro", with a photograph of a praying mantis)
15 year old daughter suddenly got an extreme interest in mantises
decide to buy her one
she cares for it like a baby, honestly surprised at her responsibility over her pet
she wants me to hold it but I don't wanna
eventually she wears me down and I do it
the damn thing looks me in the face
when it's not focused on the tricks she makes it do (jump from hand to hand, etc)
daughter tells me it can eat all sorts of meat
what the hell
feed it a piece of steak
IT EATS IT FROM MY HAND
have been bonding with the mantis ever since
I never thought I could get this invested in a bug.
I had one when I was a kid. Only bug that got a full pet funeral when it died, they are pretty cool. RIP Jorge.
