Turdy the Turtle




Did that title get your attention? That would be the name the kids gave to the box turtle we found today crossing the road. Emma spied him in the middle of the road, so we stopped and grabbed him before he got run over. We brought him home and put him in a box for a little while. The kids enjoyed watching him and taking turns holding him. It brought back memories of when I was a kid. I remember finding box turtles and being fascinated by them. The kids decided to name him "Turdy" because it kind of sounded like turtle and he pooped in the box, so they felt that it was appropriate. Are they sick or what?! Anyways, we let him go and he eventually made his way out of our yard. You never know what will happen in this house next.
