Innocense of youth

A father
Watched his young daughter playing in the garden.

·
He smiled as he
Reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.
·
Tears formed in
His eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such
Innocent eyes.
·
Suddenly she
Just stopped and stared at the ground.
·
He went over to
Her to see what work of God had captured her
Attention.

He noticed she
Was looking at two spiders mating.
·
'Daddy, what
Are those two spiders doing?' she asked.
·
'They're
Mating,' her father replied.
·
'What do you
Call the spider on top?' she asked.
·
A Daddy
Longlegs,' her father answered.
·
'So, the other
One is a Mommy Longlegs?' the little girl asked.
·
As his heart
Soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied,
'No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.'
·
'The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment,
Then lifted her foot
And stomped them flat.
·
'Well”, she said, “that may be OK in California ,
But we're not having any of that gay
Shart here in Florida !
