Terrifying Insects (Verb or Adjective?)

Mom brought up the word "magnify" in an FHE lesson a while back and asked Esther what a magnifying glass did. She hesitated.

"What if you looked at a bug with it? What happens?"

"It burns it."

Lesson destroyed.

1st graders make a butterfly every year, and it sounds like Enoch's could really use a magnifying glass. Check out his write up of it:

When I look at my butterfly, I feel "scared".

"It is red with a skull on it. Not just one skull. Four skulls on each wing. I love it too because it reminds me of myself. It is like it hates me. But it looks like it's cute because I love red. They  will love my picture. I was trying to back away from it."

Looks like someone else needs therapy.
