I saw it crawling in my backyard yesterday and have been keeping it in a jar with holes in it. I got it hiding under my bed so my mom doesn’t find out. It’s really big with lots of legs. I named him Jeff.

My brother promised if we gave him five dollars he’d eat the whole thing, no backsies. He swears it’s not opposite day. Gonna be really gross and cool. I dared him to eat dog food once. I almost threw up watching it. This is gonna be like a million times better.

Our goal is to collect the money by recess, He’ll be eating it after school at my house. Donate whatever you have: dollars, nickels, comic books, just bring it. If we don’t raise enough I’m just gonna put Jeff down your shirt instead. We gotta make him eat this bug. It’ll be so funny.

I can’t believe he’s gonna do it. Just don’t tell our mom.
