I have five minutes to post an early blog before leaving for the center.
This just in: SK, the local champion scorpion killer and organizer of neighborhood scorpion watches, confessed today. He is the one who found the scorpion at the local flea market and thought it would be a cute reminder of home. Not only that, he negotiated a deal with the seller..."throw in the smaller one (3 inches), and I'll buy." (Melissa has a birthday coming up.)
Yes....there is a great divide between the male and the female. I told him I would rather not have that monster on the wall reminding me of the one thing I really hate about Arizona, and he reassured me with, "Do you think it will sting you?.....It's dead!"
Oh well....as long as he continues to be willing to slay the dragons in my life (scorpions being one of them), I'll think he is my hero.
Does he ever cease to tease - and/or - amaze you? L&P
ReplyDeleteDerek still laughs about the time when we were dating: he was walking me to the door, and when we arrived at the doorstep I saw a giant cockroach. Without thinking about the strapping young man beside me, I opened and the door and yelled up to Dad to come get it. Derek reminded me that he was perfectly capable of killing bugs, and I sheepishly yelled up to Dad that I didn't need him after all, and apologized if I woke him up. He's still my bug-killing-hero!! I don't think I'll ever get over that. But don't think that means I want a scorpion for my birthday!! :)
