Later on I found that the crickit song makes me company, it remains me the summers near the beach of my chilhood ... so I think I will keep them as pets
my best friend has crickets loose in her home ( her husband has lizards) it's quite funny about christmas time....it makes you want warm weather!

did anyone explain the game of 'jacks'?

you take the jacks in one hand and spill them on the ground. you then take the ball in hand and bounce it on the ground, pick up a jack and catch the ball....you transfer the jack to your free hand, bounce the ball and try to pick up two jacks on the next bounce.....three, four, five....

they call the first round a 'onesie', the next a 'twosie', 'threesie' and so on...

there may be other ways to play the game but that is the way that i learned (very badly) to play!
