Bugs have families too!!!!
Picture this...
It was a cold Xmas morning & Mom Bug got up early to get the baby bugs special yuleday breakfast ready.Dad Bug had finished decorating the bug house with some chocolate wrappers & a few twigs he managed to paint in different colours over the year (dragging it from fence to fence as the "humans" competed in 'Best Garden Competion' over the summer)
"Oh no" said Mom Bug in a sad dejected way - Dad bug rushed to the kitchen & sees Mom Bug looking into the empty Bread Bin (well it's an acorn shell...but you get what I mean)
Not wanting to have the day spoilt - Dad Bug puts on his jacket (SEEEEE - you all thought that bug shells were exoskeletons...ha but no! they have a whole wardrobe!)
Dad Bug rushes out of the bug house just as little Barney Bug crawled out of bed
"DAD...where you going.....?".... " Be back soon son - help your mother"
Barney saw his mother rushing about so decided to help his dad...& followed him out the door........................................
Dad bug reached a "human house" belonging to someone called FC...remembered past moment where he escaped by the skin of his teeth...so run around the side & moved onto the next "human house".
Little Barney Bug saw a glimpse of his dad & scampered across the road but assumed he had gone into FC's house, so entered it quietly & slowly............
There was one less for Xmas dinner that year in Mr & Mrs Bug's home...
Barry, Bonnie, Bert, Billy, Brenda, Ben, Beryl, Beth, Bobby, Bjorn, Brad, Brian, Bridget, Brittany, Brooke & Bud ......but one empty place setting.......
