Toilet Tissue and Crickets

I know I already wrote about crickets. But, mom just stepped on my tail (accidentally) as she ran to the bathroom to get some toilet tissue.
This cricket thing has just gotten way too much. Why don’t they stay outside and the birds could eat them? Mom doesn’t like them. Dad doesn’t like them. I sure don’t like them.
You know what happened one time when my Aunt Shelly was babysitting? She hates crickets so much that when the little girl she was babysitting screamed because there was a cricket on her bedroom wall, my Aunt Shelly still wouldn’t get it. I think my Aunt Shelly probably screamed even louder. She probably had the little girl sleep in the living room since the cricket was in her bedroom. That was a long time ago and I bet the little girl is still traumatized from her babysitter just letting the cricket crawl up the wall. It was my mom and dad’s preacher’s little girl. I hope the little girl grew up OK.
Oh, I forgot. Why mom ran for toilet tissue. See, mom would never in her most horrible nightmares step on a bug. She would be traumatized forever if she thought she stepped on a bug. So, she goes to the bathroom, gets a huge wad of toilet tissue, runs it under a little water, and then plops the toilet tissue on the cricket–or whatever bug it might be. That’s how she gets flies and millers and anything else. Of course, I kind of like catching the millers myself. Sometimes if the alcohol is handy, she puts some alcohol on the toilet tissue, too. I think she thinks that will help put them out of her misery faster. Then, she scoops up the huge wad (it’s huge so she doesn’t have to touch the bug in any way) and then flush, it’s gone–unless the cricket wasn’t quite suffocated and crawls back on top of the tissue and jumps out of the toilet.
Mom hates that!
