The bugs are beginning to come out now, and the mosquitoes are especially not so nice. We have a couple of bug swatters which send out an electrical charge when you press a button so that you end up frying the bugs.
Harrison has deemed himself the "Official Zapper". So today, as we were sitting on the swing, he was faithfully discharging his duty. However, I noticed that a lone mosquito had lodged onto Harrison's arm.
"Hey, look to your left arm."
He shook his arm. "Don't worry, I've got it covered!" And then he swung that zapper up to truncate the bug's life indefinitely. But he missed and ended up zapping himself and doing a jumping jive all over the deck.
Yes, he had it covered, and can now tell that yes, the bugs do feel pain and the zapper really does work. Quite well. He found out through an electrifying experience.
That reminds me of the first time I was in Mexico! My team leader got a zapper for the missionaries down there. We were all making jokes about zapping team members to keep us in line. :-D
