Michael has discovered tadpoles.... THOUSANDS of them in the back yard. Michael wants to keep them all as "pets" and watch them turn into frogs. I agreed, under the conditions that once they lose the tails and develop legs, that they will be released near a pond or river so that they can survive. Lord knows I do NOT want pet "frogs" in this house.
Hubby helped him catch probably a hundred or so of them, and they are setting up an aquarium so that Michael can watch them grow through various stages. Should be a fun project for Michael at least.... I already told them I am NOT responsible for making sure they are fed, have fresh water changes, etc...
It will be interesting to see how long Michael's interest in this lasts.
