Oh man.

To the cockroach I just found in the sink (my first one, ever!):

Look, dude. I totally respect your seniority on the planet. I was just coming at you with the Tupperware so as to transport you outside. But you were probably right to skitter away, because seniority notwithstanding, there's no way I'm not calling pest control on your ass tomorrow.

With all due respect,

Allison

  1. You are clearly not a Florida resident. It's a given down here that no matter how fastidious you may be about your home, you'll have roaches lurking in the corners. I found a dead one trapped in the oubliette that is my vertical asparagus steamer just two days ago. I stared down at his stiff little body, and could only wonder: how the heck did he even get in there?

  2. It is pretty miraculous that this was my first roach ever (to be quickly followed by my second, and third, and fourth, on account that roaches are total joiners, which is probably why they will inherit the earth), given my sordid tenant history (by proxy of dubious roommates, not me, I assure you, but don't we always think that). This isn't going to do my obsessive-compulsive streak any favors...
