My kids are participating in the library’s Summer Reading Program. The theme is “Paws, Claws, Scales and Tails”, so all the prizes are animal-related. This foam glider toy is what they got for completing their sixth hour of reading.
I keep waiting for one of them to ask me “Mom, what is a cockchafer?”
To which I will reply “trust me honey, it’s something you do NOT want to get.”

Hello and welcome to Table for Five! I'm Elizabeth, and this blog started in September 2005 as a way for me to participate in the Mommy Blogging community.

The hell? I still don’t know what it is, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want one!
Even though I was scared to Google it for fear of what I would find, it turns out a cockchafer is a European beetle of the dung beetle variety. Here’s a link to Wikipedia:

Turns out there are both Common AND Large Cockchafers. Huh.
That is priceless.
*snort*
LMAO
He he. It’s been a good 2 weeks since I last had a cockchafer….
I am hoping to catch a cockchafer tonight, as a matter of fact.
o.O Dawn! You’re so naughty! roflmfao
All I know is, I hope if I get a cockchafer that it’s of the Large variety– no common cockchafers for this girl!
“Paws, Claws, Scales and Tails” is the summer reading program at our library too, so there may be some cockchafer questions to answer in my future as well. Of all the animals in the world to choose from… what kind of perv have they got creating these programs anyway?
That is very funny!
Hee. Makes a great insult. Like so: “I had the right of way, you COCKCHAFER!”
That’s far too close to my favorite bad word so I’ll use that next time I want to yell it.
Great story!
