"But MOM...she's my best friend!"

OK....I'm really not into creepy-crawly things......SERIOUSLY not into them. So When Isabel brought this little creature home and wanted to keep "her", I had issues. What do you do with a thing like this? I mean really...how long can one caterpillar/creature last in our condo...right? Did you look at her face? (The caterpillar's...NOT Isabel's!!) She has this fluffy, fur-like stuff coming out of her forehead and chin. (Am I humanizing this thing?)
Did I mention that she's kind of cute? (Isabel...not the creature!!) So, the next morning, after showing ALL of the neighbors and whoever else was interested....she set her free. I know, I know, I'm going to hear from all you "creature loving" people out there that I should have let her keep the thing and just "deal with it!". But let me tell you my friends....I have been there and done that....Hermit Crab anyone? I've had my fill of unnecessary pets/creatures in this household! (Be afraid Tom...be very afraid!)
