There are times when some of the simplest things really bring a smile to your face. I was in the kitchen the other night preparing dinner. With me were my one and two year old daughters. There antics where such a delight to watch - I wish I had some photos.

They were playing happily when a moth landed on the floor in front of them. It was obviously on its last legs, but the girls didn't know.

Being only little they kept a safe distance whilst at the same time being totally fascinated by it. Their squeals of delight every time it moved, or tried to fly was so cute. Every time it got to close they would back away, however they followed it for a good half hour, squealing and giggling and egging each other on to get a little closer.

Finally, the moth moved no more. It had gone to moth heaven. No more entertainment, no more fun. The youngest of two turned around as demanded I get the broom and remove it. You can imagine a one year old's language. She was quite demanding though.

It was cute, it was sweet, it was fun to listen to and watch. I wonder, at what age to they change and start pulling wings or legs off. Are boys a little different to girls. I hope they don't lose that innocence, at least, not for many years. I also hope they never resort to pulling wings or legs. Even in the last of stage of its life, a simple moth has provided so much.
