Day 94: Don't Cage Your Dreams (or Small Pets)

By Jennifer Borget On July 3, 2012

Our neighbor gave her a pet butterfly. We gave him some food and watched him flutter around that evening. The next afternoon we planned to let him go when we got home from work/school but sadly it was too late. I don't think she's quite ready for the death talk yet so when she wasn't looking I dumped him in the grass and told her he flew away. Note to self... Butterflies don’t survive long in small quarters.
