Mommy caught a praying mantis, and the kids took it as their first pet. Jade named it Unicorn. They went from being sacred of it to becoming friends with it. They played with it, built a home for it in a jar, caught bugs to feed it, and kept it for a few days. But Unicorn wasn't eating enough and needed to go back home. So we convinced Jade to let it go. Jade had a hard time, but she let it go. Even though she cried really hard after releasing it, she knew Unicorn was happy with its family :-) Maybe it's time to get a pet fish or something.
