the real reason bugs have antennae

we were listening to shortstack's new favorite band (blink 182) on the way back from getting a dozen small crickets for bo (the treefrog from grammie, who lives on our kitchen counter). while we are waiting at the longest red light on earth, shortstack is singing his heart out in the backseat. he stops only long enough to tell me 'the crickets like my shinging. that's why they have antennae, so they can hear me shing.'
