Bugs are a part of life and I suppose killing them is also a part of life. Here in SC, we have a lot of bugs and as we’ve been fixing up the house, there have been flies galore. As for fly-swatting, I do believe it is an art. If I’m good, I can get them but sometimes I whack them and they kind of play dead. This one was down and then got up and flew away! I mean, it is kinda gross and I don’t intend to be so mean to them but when you hear buzzing because a fly is trapped between your window and the blinds, I think they tend to bring the worst out of you.
Roaches are also interesting. I’m pretty good at disposing of them at college but here in SC, well sometimes I let them go, except that lately it has been rediscovered that they are big AND they fly. My parents tore down a shed and apparently it was good that I didn’t help because there were so many of them! Prior to this, however, there is an even more hilarious story! I was with my family on the sofa watching a movie, when suddenly we saw this big bug fly across the room. We just kind of sat there and though-hmm, that’s interesting. So one of us decided to go kill it with the fly swatter. The important thing to note is that it was on a high door ledge, so the brave one decided to get it off the ledge and then kill it. Great idea, if it didn’t fly onto his back and bright yellow shirt! The other two innocents who were watching this happen on the couch were shocked and merely pointed with their mouths open-“its on your back!” they yelled. (I’m telling you this could’ve won America’s Funniest Home Videos) I suppose they were too stunned to try and help, so the brave one started dancing in an effort to get it off….and yes, I’m afraid the roach was a gonner, probably scared to death. A good thirty minutes of laughter and a story the three will never forget!
