The Acosta Family life from Mom's perspective

Today the girls and I were outside playing in the driveway. I was sitting in a beach chair and noticed a caterpillar right next to me. It looked half dead (some of its guts were out already) but I still pointed it out to the girls. They said, "Ya, we already saw it. I think we ran it over". I poked it a few times to see if maybe there was a chance it would still be alive and it was motionless.
