My grandmother on my mother's side, she used to chase me around her house with scissors threatening to cut out my tongue because I called her 'Granny', has a patio just off her living room with a sliding glass door. She likes to leave the curtains open so she can watch the birds.
One day there was a huge grasshopper clinging to the outside screen. I got closer and saw it was actually two grasshoppers, twisted around each other, fucking. Grandma and I watched in unashamed fascination. Eventually all the shaking made them fall to the sidewalk. Then grandma's cat Smokey sauntered over and ate them.
Grandma said, "Well. They had their fun and now they're gone."
