We've gladly shared our home with spiders, snakes, crickets, june bugs, mice etc..Okay I did put out a trap for the mouse because sharing can only go so far. (it was sharing its droppings with us- not cool
We have been under siege, attacked in our own home. I'm talkin bout scorpians. We've had a few of them off and on for the last couple of years; I smashed them; didn't think about it too much. but now they are infiltrating the very heart of our home : First casualty; Polka Dot, family dog, scorpian stung him on the rear paw. He limpled for two days.
Second(near miss); Lean, beloved daaughter. This A.M. after putting on her swim suit she told me there was a prickle on her swim suit and would I check for it. I patted suit down, did not feel a prickle. Then I see a scorpian on her chest. I yell "put your arms up!" and swat it off her. Then I slap it with a shoe a few times- nothing...it keeps coming for me so I smash it down into the carpet with shoe- still coming I smash and squash it relentlessly, just in case its a "jason" like critter, until dead. I'm guessing it just pinched her a little bit with its front pinchers. How it missed stinging I don't Know.
So after all this is over Lean says in a totally matter o fact voice " let's put it in the spider web on the mailbox,,which we did.
Moral: if a terrorist threatens you or yours smash it repeatedly anhd then feed it to a spider.
Look at what Sarah taught me to do

Wow, so glad your little girl didn't get stung, but poor puppy! I have a friend who's daughter lives in Texas and she said the same thing about being infiltrated with scorpions, and snakes and various other critters. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that there is no house in the world big enough for me to co-exist with creepy, crawly critters! Keep doing your part to fight the war on terrorism! :-)
It worked! It worked! Awesome. Now let's fix your picture problem!
Yikes! How scary! I am glad that your little girl is ok!
Why scorpions were invented, I will never know. I think they're a big practical joke. HA!!! How funny is that!!!
Seriously, I'm glad your little girl wasn't hurt.
As we say in this part of the South, bless her heart! I had a similar experience as a small girl in Texas, and my dad also went a little nutso boffo on the scorpion. Being a Chicago boy, we did NOT feed it to a spider. Your method was much more eco-friendly. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog - yours is cracking me up!
Put it in the spiders web.... so funny!
Oh my goodness--I would have freaked out seeing a scorpion on my child!!! I'm glad your lil one didn't get stung!!
I'm with Millie, I wonder what purpose they serve on this earth? I am more scared of scorpions than just about anything--I would have peed my pants if I saw one on my child! Yikes. I had one in my apartment once when I lived in Texas--I sucked it up with the vacuum cleaner and then spent the rest of a sleepless night wondering if scorpions are pack animals and if his buddies were waiting to ambush me in my bed. Ack.
hello - I found your blog through Jennifer B's.
Scorpions sound terrifying...aren't they deadly??
