Twin Tuesday part 1

Grammy and Pop-pop are in for a visit for a few days.  Today we went to Sports Authority and A.C. Moore to pick up a few things (yes I had to go to the craft store).  After leaving Sports Authority, Grammy walked Zoe, Zane and Zadie to A.C. Moore while Zach and I went back in to Sports Authority to scour the store for the sunglasses Zane apparently sat down somewhere inside.  We didn't find them.

The story that I want to tell was relayed to me by Grammy and occurred on their sojourn from Sports Authority over to the craft store (I have taken the liberty of putting the story into my own words).

While we were walking, we saw a bug that looked a lot like a dragon fly, resting on the sidewalk.  Zane was hunched down looking at the bug, saying hi, and really examining it.  Zoe walked up, took a quick look at the bug and proceeded to step on it, killing it in cold blood.  Zane paused, thought about the senseless killing that unfolded in front of him and responded by telling the bug "that's alright, you be okay".  Zoe in her sweetest most delicate tone, soothed her grieving brother by chanting "no, he's dead, he's dead" and continues her trek toward the craft store.
