Fear Factor for Kids

We have Palmetto bugs. Roaches. Big ones. This year seems worse than usual. My daughter, Mia, has no fear of bugs. She calls them all "mookahs". "Mookah" is the Russian word for ant, I believe. Or fly. But to her it's any bug. And she picks them up as if they were pets. My wife tells me that Mia proudly presented her a roach the other day, holding it calmly by one of its legs. Evidently, fear is not a factor for her. They give me the heebie jeebies.
