zora meets mister. still i understand nary a word the girl says, but i'm getting the gist of it by osmosis and enthusiasm. i tried to tell her about magicicadas, and i held her up inches from one, but i don't think she got it, she was saying something about a little leaf, and the adults were talking donuts. one of the adults had a trilobite tattoo and i said i had a few, not on me, that was the first one i saw on skin. seems like if you like trilobites so well you want to wear one for life you might love cicadas too, though that may be a different totem.
