“What the heck IS it?”, I exclaimed. I began poking at it with “the claw”, a militant sheller’s implement of conchological doom.
Tootie hunkered down next to me to investigate. It was difficult to hear one another over the roar of the pounding surf, which periodically surprise-attacked us up there at the top of the giant shell pile, but I guess she’d heard just enough to become curious.
“I think… I think it’s fake. I mean, I think it’s plastic, some kid’s toy bug,” I said, continuing to poke at the thing. It flipped over, and showed us a bright orangey underbelly.
“It’s a fishing lure,” Tootie replied, reaching out and picking it up with her bare hand. I gasped inwardly, a born-and-bred-in-the-city-girl gasp, but then remembered that Tootie, my partner in pillage and the product of a farm, had no such inbred yuck factor.
A day later, as my latex-gloved hands fished around in the bucket of bleach water I pulled out a handful of smaller stuff, including the bug, and grinned with sudden inspiration.
“Fishing lure, kid’s toy, whatever,” I thought to myself, as I set him down to dry.
“He’s this week’s Camera Critter!“
And here he is – a plastic grasshopper!
