Worst. Vegetarian. Ever,

The family and I are at the bird house at the Houston zoo. 

A ladybug lands on my hand. 
So cute! 

Down below, two workers are letting out a BAG of ladybugs. They are to eat pests on plants but are safe because birds won't eat the foul tasting ladybugs. 

I ask Gwendolyn and Miriam to eat one. I offer a dollar.

I ask the workers 

They decline. 

As the bidding moves up to $10 the ladybug on my hand FLIES into my mouth and I swallow. 

Worst vegetarian ever.

This is the picture my wife took to capture the moment. 

Laughing, crying, coughing, trying not to puke.
