What If The Baddest Dude In The House Was A Chick?

George Washington. Paul Revere. William Wallace. The 300. Nukegirl. Each of these are examples of people who will live throughout history as being the bravest of the brave. Those who when faced with adversity and challenge rose to the occasion and said; “I’ll do it”, who stood steadfast in the shadow of fear and said; “Go bug someone else, I’m not afraid anymore”. Well, I guess Macaulay Culkin said that in Home Alone too, but I didn’t buy it. Nukegirl, on the other hand, didn’t say anything except; “Oooh! Oooh! I want to hold it! Can I Daddy, please?” The 14 year old Volunteer working the ridiculously over sized insect table had already mocked the Nukeboys into shame; Nukegirl was the last chance to return honor to the family name. “So, just the little girl wants to hold the TOTALLY LIVING, CRAWLING 9 inch Giant African Millipede?”, he said. Jerk. “Are you sure you want to hold it honey?” I asked from across the room, under a chair. “Yes Daddy, I think he’s cute!” Cute. Not the first emotion Nukeboy1 felt before he fell to the floor and curled up into the fetal position. “It tickles!” she said as Nukeboy2 retreated to find a paper bag to get his hyperventilation under control. I ventured out from the sanctuary of the chair long enough to snap these two photographs. Proof positive that the largest amount of testicular fortitude in our house resides in a 4 year old little girl. Burglars beware.

Girl Power! You go NukeGirl. Is she now officially the man of the house? She could do an expert guest interview on Verminators.

(NukeDad) Well, she was the only one who let it crawl on her, I’ll let you be the judge.

Oh dear God. Please don’t tell me that thing is alive…Not even her grandfather, who was not afraid of anything to my knowledge, wouldn’t cringe before holding that thing.

(NukeDad) Oh yeah, alive and kicking. It crawled up to her shoulder, then turned around and headed back towards her hand. She giggled the whole time.

Wow, great that she gets stuck in to that.

…and she is so pretty to boot!

(NukeDad) Must come from her Mom’s side of the family.

Funny story. It seems when their young they are fearless. You couldn’t get me within a mile of something that ugly. And don’t worry, as they get older they’ll continue to remind you that you are not running the show.

From a father of teenage daughters. Good luck.

(NukeDad) Thanks, I think I’m going to need it.

She’d be great pals with my youngest daughter. This was the girl who took out a whole row of boys who cut in line in front of her on her first day of kindergarten. No fear. At least, not for things that creep, crawl, slither or talk about farts.

(NukeDad) HaHa, she sounds fiesty! A Kindergartner of Independent Means?
