Boy

There's a boy next door who I call the boy who looks like a drawing of a boy. He is extremely petite and has enormous blue eyes. He's always squatting down to watch bugs and sometimes collect them; the neighborhood entomologist. His mom came by to chat one day when he and the little girl next door were collecting bugs in our yard. The boy's mom told me her son was born five months premature, after only four months! Holy smokes. I've never heard of such a short incubation for a human. It's amazing that he's alive. Maybe that's why he's so delicate. These kids are adorable, enjoying every bug and following them intently. I've seen them do this for hours. I wish I had that kind of concentration!
