lions, and tigers, and ... crickets???

last night...

me: dad! what are these giant bugs on the stairs to my room?
dad: can't you just ignore them?
me: can't you come see what they are and make them go outside?
dad: (comes over...): those are just cave crickets -- can't you ignore them?
me: can't i live in a house without bugs for a week
dad: you're in the South -- we have big bugs; it's part of the deal, enjoy it.
me: there are plenty of houses in the south without bugs... can you please make them go away?
dad: they're not coming in your room -- they're just on the stairs, go see.
me: (go up to my room) dad! there's 2 up here, please do something about them!
dad: (chases them into my closet)
me: dude, i'm not 3 anymore
dad: I can't see them anymore though... you're fine... good night.

back to the usual.

am i ridiculous to not want bugs the size of the palm of my hand bouncing around my room at night?

blah -- this could be why i choose to stay far far away most of the time :-P

later dudes :-P
