When I was really young (I don't know exactly how old), I asked my mom why love bugs were stuck together. She told me it was because one was the mom and the other was the baby. It seemed completely logical because one of the bugs was always bigger than the other. Well, I did not learn the truth until I was in ninth grade when it came up in our lunch conversation. Everyone laughed at me when I started talking about the mother and the baby love bugs. I was I was so embarrassed and pretty mad at my mom.
