Behind the trailer by the "can box", there was a menagerie of odds & ends. Early one summer, after a rain--I was about nine--I found the most amazing discovery! In an overturned trash-can lid full of water, there were hundreds of tadpoles (or so I thought).
I put some in a Mason jar and brought them into my room, to raise on my very own. I was so excited at the prospect of mothering these frogs. (Again, I was going to be rich by selling them to the pet store.)
Within a few days my "tadpoles" developed into adults. Adult mosquitos that is...everywhere!
Needless to say my mother was quite disenchanted with me.
