The Triumphant Return Of Bob The Mantis
Last summer, I was mowing the back yard when I noticed something big and green clinging to our wooden fence. I stopped the mower to get a better look, and it was a praying mantis! I don’t think that I had ever seen one up close before, so it was kinda cool. I invited the neighbor kids to check him out, and the younger one named him “Bob”. Bob hung out in the back yard for a day or two, but we didn’t hear from him much after that. We figured that he went off to get his head eaten.
Today, Chrissy was heading out to the garage with the boys when she spotted Bob coming down our driveway. He was making his way back to our yard, where lunch was plentiful. He was pretty wary of Chrissy though. She got the kids into the CR-V and then checked on Bob to make certain that she wouldn’t run him over, but he was already near the gate to the back yard. Good ol’ Bob. I’ll have to keep an eye out for him when I mow the lawn next weekend.
