"The Very Hungry Caterpillars"

One of my favorite flowers is the passion flower. Many years ago, JuJu and I found a vine on the side of the road, dug it up, and transplanted it in her backyard so that we could enjoy its beautiful blossoms. I simply love how intricate the flower is, and anyone that sees it cannot deny there is a God. You can literally watch it unfold as the tight bud opens in the midday sun. Anyway, several years ago, caterpillars descended upon it; caterpillars that turn into Mississippi Frittilary Butterflies. They come every year, eat the leaves, spin their chrysalis, and hatch into beautiful orange and black butterflies. Well, while in the backyard today, you discovered the caterpillars. How excited you were too. We explained what they were doing and what was going to happen, and you said, "Just like on Wonder Pets." Yes, just like on Wonder Pets. That made me feel a little better about the amount of Noggin you watch. We will keep our eyes open for when the caterpillars move through their next stage of metamorphosis!
