Manic Monday (#35)--Bug

Go see Mo!

O

ne of my fondest and most treasured memories as a child was playing outside until much after dark and catching fireflies and placing them in a jar. I loved watching them emit that fluorescent glow and always wondered how exactly they did that. I would then place that jar next to my nightstand and fall asleep watching their brilliance of light and listen to the sound of the crickets chirping next to my window. But I would always wake up the next morning puzzled because my lightening bug jar was always empty!!

Years later I found out that my mother would set them free after I would fall asleep.
