the funniest insect

The funniest insect ever was wearing dreadlocks and a tam of red He jumped up from the bowels of the forest saying “Hi! I’m Ned!” I was shocked because he was a crazy-looking beast for a parasite. Talking to a human like me was insane, it truly is not quite right. He jumped on my leg and climbed up to my left knee. Are you a they, a she, a we, a them or a he? I was surprised that he is more politically correct than most I know. I kept him inside all winter, away from ice, and snow. Did not realize he could clone himself and avidly too. One day I looked in his cage and there were twenty-two. I don’t need a mate to do this either, he said. That is the day I decided to boot out the insect Ned.
