About a year ago, I bought some Mexican jumping beans. I loved them! They were my little buddies. I named them Boot, Scoot, Boogie, Fabio, and I can't remember the last one's name....(sorry, little buddy). I carried them around in my purse pretty much everywhere and whenever I had a dull moment, I would pull them out and watch them hop around. They were amazing little creatures - lol! Well, I am ashamed to say that I lost them after a couple of months. I had brought them to the U.S. to show my friends and figured I'd left them there. Wellllll...in packing for the trip we are taking in a few hours, I found them!!! I was ecstatic! I pulled them out and much, much, much to my surprise, chagrin, amazement, and delight I found this:
I lined them up with the bean, the little door-opening that had fallen out of each bean, and the bug inside. Only one did not hatch.
 |
| They had hatched! |
 |
| Each had a hole in it where the bug inside escaped. |
 |
| Finally meeting my little friends - postmortem - haha. |
 |
| Neatest little things! |
 |
| Up close and personal |
 |
| And back they went into their original home - the red felt baggie. Don't know what I'm going to do with them now... |
