Yes this is real!!! This summer I had a little summer camp with a few kids. We would have fun activities outside and then head inside to cool off and do a few more activities. One day on our way inside I had a little boy pick something up and ask if he could play with it. I looked and thought it was a plastic scorpion. He was swinging it back and forth and I thought wow they sure make them look real, and then it clicked and my insides froze. IT...WAS....REAL!!!!! Thank heavens it was dead I tried to play like it was no big deal and really wanted the little boy to think it was a toy, so I said, well, not today lets just leave that toy outside. He looked at me and said Mrs. Jill I think it's real it has hair. So much for fooling a four year old.
Kev and the boys thought it was so neat. I have no idea what got into Kevs head when he asked Mac if he wanted to hold it and I really don't know what was wrong with Mac when he said yes. Silly boys and their creepy crawlies I just don't get it!
