Dead Bug Somber Boy

So today Malachi and I took a walk around the neighborhood and ended up at the park down the road. He was playing on the slide when a big black stink bug walks by me. I called him over since he's a boy and boys are supposed to like bugs right? He caught sight of the bug and crouched down and shuffled along slowly gaining on the bug. (This would have been an excellent time to have a phone that has a camera) I could see what was about to happen "Don't".......CRUNCH...."step on the bug..........." Silence and staring smart mom chimes in, "now he's dead" what was I thinking? It's not like he did it on purpose... But! miraculously the bug survives only to face the little foot seconds later. No more misery for Mr. Bug, may he rest in peace, and my little man looked pretty sad confused, his first encounter with death, poor bug.
