Mckenzie's pet ladybug

Mckenzie found a ladybug outside with a broken wing, and told me she is going to keep it forever.  She named her Marly and put her in a cup with some lettuce from my fridge.  Mckenzie even made her a swimming pool with a diving board, and told me she is her mommy.  This ladybug has entertained my girls for 2 days.  I couldn't believe it stayed alive that long to be honest, but today for some reason it decided to crawl away.  Mckenzie shed a few tears over loosing Marly, but I think it was better than seeing her die.  I am just thinking I probably have a dead ladybug somewhere in my house.  I count my blessings it's just a ladybug, when I think of my mom finding my brother's pet snake behind the laundry baskets.  At the time I didn't understand why that bothered my mother so much, boy have things changed.
