Annie's been afraid of--well, everything--these days, but one morning in particular it was snakes and spiders. It's not totally unfounded, since once when we were camping she had a black widow in her shoe when she woke up in the morning.
Kevin suggested we get a pet spider and a pet snake so she wouldn't be afraid of them anymore. DJ both excitedly and quite seriously said, "we should get a pet spider and a pet snake and then we can train them!"
"Train them to do what?," I asked.
"Kill bad guys!"
Kind of morbid, but it might be more practical than the somersaults and flips I was imagining.
