My lovely daughter comes home yesterday all excited because she spotted all these white butterflies around on her way home. She even took photos. She was so happy. Now as a mother it's my job to tell her the truth. I crushed that little girl's heart with a "no sweetie. They are cabbage moths. They're a pest. They eat hard working Australians crops". Not to be out done she replied with "They're still pretty". Bless her little cotton socks.
