BETTY CANARY
Beetle Almost
Is ‘Sole Food’
Oi
By BETTY CANARY
There was something a bit disconcerting about the
astronauts saying the moon was covered with what looked
like dirty beach sand. I began wondering if possibly one
of my children wouldn’t after all end up going there. Dirty
beach sand is the sort of thing that appeals to them.
1 wish that we could go through just one summer witt
out them being so incessantly sweaty.
I wish just once 1 could compose a lyrical little essay
about chubby brown legs and gritty knees the way some
poets can. There must be something lacking in me because
every time 1 see a smudgy dirty nose I do not think “How
charming!” 1 just want to grab a washcloth.
I must insist that I do like children. I hug mine and
stroke their hair at odd moments through the day but
when I take a small boy by the hand and find we’re glued
together because he was holding his'bubble gum, well, I
scream.
I have made attempts at understanding how children
and adults cannot see eye-to-eye on sticky messes and
made such terrific strides that I was even able to start
writing a small piece called “Reflections on Dirt.” Un
fortunately, 1 was unable to get beyond the first page . . .
the one where I reflected about my daughter Babs getting
candied orange slices stuck in her long, yellow hair. Words
were coming along beautifully until I got to the part where
1 had to either tell the truth or lie. The truth was that I
kept yelling, “Anybody with any sense at ALL . . .” and
you simply cannot call that poetry.
That’s about what happened when I was Reflecting on
Pets. I like dogs and cats, will tolerate a snake or two and
white rats in cages but the thing is, my youngest son came
along and took up bugs for a hobby.
1 maintain that a cliild must be controlled, especially
when he discovers the egg case of the praying mantis. It
■is really for his benefit, to help him not see mother as an
executioner with a vacuum sweeper. I discovered my son
and I verbalized in much the same way the first time an
egg case hatched one million babies. We looked in his
room, both jumped up and down and kept yelling, “Look
at them!”
I could never wax ecstatic over that ant farm that fell
off a table and broke.
I did not mind his collecting fireflies and to this day
I’ll help him capture moths. However, I don’t care what
he says to the contrary, no sane woman would allow an
8-year-old to start an earthworm farm.
I have much more to say on the subject but my son
has this click beetle, a vicious-looking, two-inch one, and
he has escaped the box again and is sitting by my foot
looking at me. Yes, it IS tempting. He is right next to my
foot and the sole of my shoe is just made for stamping.
But he’s a VERY clean click beetle, so I’ll fight off tempta
tion and reward him with a new home in a shoe box I’ve
been saving.
