The Case of the Tickled Toe

Date: Monday, September 25, 2006 | Category: Life, Love, and Happiness

Last night Dad wanted to show me the song he's working on, "Open your Eyes". I went down, of course. I like listening to the stuff Dad's doing.
Anyway, so I was sitting there, on the floor, and had just finished listening to it twice, when I felt a tickling on my toe.
Thoughts ran through my head...must be a string, a piece of paper, a pen, SOMETHING.
I looked down.
It was a giant black beetle.
Yikes.
Dad and I debated about what to do. He covered the offending beetle with a tissue, and I got another and picked it up. It sat quietly in my pinched fingers for a little bit (I didn't want to squeeze it--imagine the crunch! GROSS!!!), then decided it had enough and wanted OUT.
Giant black beetles are strong. Take it from me.
It felt like it actually WOULD get out of my grip, so I arranged the tissue around it so it was stuck, dropped it in the toilet, and flushed.
Gooooood riddance!
