What do you name your pet Rolli-polli?

So Carson and Natalie went to Kim's house for a while today. When we picked them up, Carson asked Kim if she would punch holes in the mason jar he had his newfound rolli-polli. So Kim poked some holes in the lid of his jar, and off we went. We were a few minutes down the road, when I asked Carson if his rolli-polli had a name, he replied, of course he does, his name is Gilbert. Garry and I chuckled to ourselves, and Carson continued talking to us about his new friend Gilbert, and I told him that was pretty neat name.

A couple of minutes later, he asked, Mom, can this little fella stay in my room with me? I told him that probably wasn't a very good idea because rolli-polli's usually enjoy the sunlight more than living in a jar inside the house. he said okay, but as we are now trying to get Carson ..... and Gilbert to go to bed, Carson comes in with his jar without a lid and says very solemnly, mom, Gilbert is a really good hider............I said oh yeah? He says yeah, I was playing with him and holding him in my hand, and he fell, and I can't find him in my room...........Now for the last 15 minutes I have listened to him from the other room say Gilbert, you're hiding really well, will you please come out now, and so on.

I suppose, now that Carson is crying telling me that he is never going to find his friend Gilbert, I should attempt to go find his new friend..............................................


Wish me luck!
