Ahh, thank you! I knew I’d find the right people with this one. Animal facts AND etymology = perfection. Thigmotaxis is my new favorite word. I too am a wallflower when nervous. 😊

Ha! This is an explanation that eases my heart. I do love them so this alternative to the Rollie pollie apocalypse is appreciated!

I swear I am not putting them there but I am taking 5-10 Rollie pollies out of my house every morning so they don’t curl up and die under my kitchen sink! WHAT IS HAPPENING?? 😩

Aww! Hooray--this makes me happy! 💗🧠💚

These are adorable 💛💛💛 (and SAME) ✋

Coffee, cigarettes, and old stones. Bicycle tires, dark chocolate, and green leaves. Dark water, impatience, and pleasure.

"Does anyone have a question or something you'd like to share?"

And if I spend the next ten minutes listening to what a group of six year olds got for their birthday, what pets they have, or what dead animals they've seen... that's cool with me. I'm listening. 💛 4/4

I wonder what I'd learn if I listened more, if I encouraged kids to sharing their own experiences instead of pushing them to learn from others by asking questions. So, I'm changing my script with kids in classrooms.

"Who has a question?" will become... 3/4
