There was a Danish exhibit in town past month, displaying two dozen oversized insects and a dozen dinosaurs.
Not that we adults think or care much about it, but it's a must for children amongst us. Otherwise they might think that insects are just something they see on the tele and dinosaurs are just a story made up, or in worst case....friends of Barney (for those of you who don't have a clue who Barney is,.......come on......Barney is kids' best friend and has been terrorizing our television for years, see dino picture above for reference).
Laetitia and her friends, Henry and Annie, reactions were a bit mixed though. Annie found it a bit scary whereas Henry and our girl thought nothing of it. Both of them (Laetitia and Henry) are 'big' enough to realize that the 'monsters' and dinosaurs at the exhibit were just that, fake. Or they might just pose their alpha-male/female attitude.
Now I do wonder what their reaction would be like when they encounter a real insect of that sorts, albeit in a dininutive size, in the near future.......still not scared? I bet they are the first ones who run away screaming for help. Not scared, ....my foot...
