The Beetle

This morning when I woke up, I found Sumner sitting in his giant, red beanbag listening peacefully to a book on tape. I asked him how it was going. He calmly told me that earlier he had killed a huge beetle. I saw the beetle. It was a cockroach. I informed him of this.

Later he said, “I can’t believe how strong those roaches are. I had to put my bean bag on top of it to kill it. Then I hit it with my book-light about seven times and then I smashed it with one of my biggest cars.”

We are living in a savage world.
