When I saw him stuffing as many of the dandelions as he could in the jar it reminded me of what I used to do as a kid.
I would find any container possible, and many times it was a jar or a glass 7-Up bottle and I would go out and find any kind of creepy crawler that I could. Sometimes I would fill up the container with worms (and often let them sit in the sun and die. My mom would then find the source of the smell.) but my favorite would be woolly-bears (the black and orange fuzzy caterpillars that come out in the early fall). I would have them ball up in my hand then put them in the jars and I would stuff that jar so full of them that they couldn't even uncurl themselves.
I ALWAYS had a jar filled with some bug and would sneak them to school, and many many times the jar would break and their would be either grasshoppers or frogs, or caterpillars or just whatever I had loose.
Now if only J.D. would fill it up with creepy crawlers!!
