Different Perspectives

Yesterday Elizabeth came into the house from the backyard all upset. "What's wrong?"I asked her.

"There's something in the pool moving around!" she cried.

Of course, I already knew what it would be. She had found some mosquito larvae in the pool. (Hmmm, who's not putting enough chlorine in?)

But my mind raced back to when I was a boy. Finding mosquito larvae was great stuff! I could usually talk myself and any other boy into believing they were baby tadpoles. Or I'd get a fish net and grab a bunch of them to feed to my tropical fish. A jar made a new wiggler aquarium. They were so fun. Boys and girls, never the twain shall meet.
