There is something about our home that draws centipedes. I think it might have something to do with the
semi-rural property edging our sleepy subdivision.
These creatures are not small. They are
only marginally shy. One spring the creepy crawlers were everywhere.
I once saw a cheeky monster
headed right toward me where I lay across my bed writing in a journal - in broad daylight. Another
got into an open DVD case. When I picked it up to put the disk away, the
centipede went right down the neck of my blouse.
So the other day should have
been no big deal. But I saw it during my morning ablutions. Feeling vulnerable,
I called to my partner, who proceeded to not even see the monstrosity hiding in
the lower corner of the glass shower stall.
“How is it that I see these
things everywhere and you never spot them at all?”
“You have cent-ar.”
I stared blankly. Don't
judge. It was early.
“Get it? Radar? Cent-ar? Centaur!”
Yeah. We are geeks. And as
previously mentioned, we laugh a lot in this house.
Ha! We get an occasional centipede in the bathroom in the Summer. Grizelda loves them...and spiders. Me? I love Grizelda.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, my dear! Thanks for sharing Grizelda's talents. Jezebel used to dismantle centipedes but I would find the legs everywhere. That was not so pleasant, so I would rather deal with them myself.
DeleteMaybe they're just drawn to you...
ReplyDeleteYou know, you have a point. Critters of all shapes and sizes do seem to gravitate toward me. Yikes.
DeleteI hope you kill them with fire.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha... I like the way you think.
DeleteHAHA....Well I guess what we get could be worse. We deal with ants in the Nashville area. I think I will stick the ants and leave those guys to you guys! lol
ReplyDeleteOoh, Pam, my dear, I don't think I would trade. There is something about ant hoards that bothers me more. I do like seeing the leaf cutter ant trail tubes at the Cincinnati Zoo, however. Best wishes!
