“Is that a dead bug?” Jill asks, squinting.

“Where?”

“Right there, under the lamp.”

I answer, “Oh, that. Yeah.”

“Why is it there?”

“I put it there.”

“But why did you put it there?” she persists.

“Because I wanted to put it somewhere where the boys wouldn’t mess with it, and where you wouldn’t see it?”

“Uh-huh…”

“…because I want to take a picture of it.”

“You want to take a picture. Of a dead bug.”

“I think it’s a stinkbug.”
