Or, he could get a pet tarantula; from what I understand, they'll eat
cockroaches, and it'd be a good object lesson in G_d's overall scheme,

persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

i just have no answer for case on the roaches. maybe you can tell him
that
god created those centipedes down there, but, too many are unhealty and
the
birds are not eating them as fast as they reproduce. i don't know that
may
be too much for a 7 year old.
