Ezra quotes regarding Cicadas. 

-"Can I put him in my pocket?"

-"I wish one can be my pet someday."

-On a walk the other day we passed a group of them and the noise was ear piercing. Ezra had to cover his ears. A few minutes later he said  "I love them with all my heart, I just don't like that noise."

-"If I tell you he's harmless it's ok to bring him inside?" (Can you guess my answer??)
