No and yes


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

My brother spotted a pair of -- well, I don't know what they are -- insects, I suppose. I hope that they're mating, otherwise they were just stuck in a very difficult situation.

We watched them for a while, but they weren't doing much else, so we were bored quite quickly. When I came back to the sofa (which they're on) afterwards, I realised they were gone.

"Mom?" I turned to ask. "Did you kill the mating moths?"

"No."

"Oh good. Then they must've flown--"

"I just caught them with a plastic bag and threw them away."

"..."

Sometimes it gets confusing when "no" actually means "yes."

I would totally freak out if I found things like that on my sofa. I probably would'nt sit on it again

Well, what she was saying was still right, even thought it's a bit confusing.

Poor moths. They never knew what hit them.

look-out: Is that because they're bugs or because they were mating? ;)

does she mean that she caught them with the bag and then freed them outside?

Nope. She meant that she threw the plastic bag (that contained the moths) into the trash. =\
