Sadly, my mother split them up among us when she died. I have two because one belongs to The Hurricane. The pink thing is a flower and feathers that I sometimes wear in my hair. A palmetto bug is a gigantic flying cockroach. Palmetto bugs are not pink, and I prefer not to have them anywhere near my hair.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-34564214041096074632014-08-13T01:05:36.685-04:002014-08-13T01:05:36.685-04:00Dang, we must be related.

It takes a huge puddle of bug spray to kill them, and I think it's because they drown in it. I keep my weed killer in the garage, and WDW knows it. He was so nervous about the bug that he couldn't see what was right in front of him. The bugs freak him out even more than they do me. It was quite impressive, though, when he leaped on the cedar chest to smack the palmetto. He should have been a ballet dancer. A very chubby, short ballet dancer.

I think WDW has trouble because he can't read the labels. His sight seems to be worse than mine, and that's saying something. His driving terrifies me. If I am killed in a car accident, you will know the reason. I have offered to drive. He always says no. A few days ago he went around a sharp curve so fast that I squealed, and not out of enjoyment. He said, Boy, you wouldn't be any fun at the amusement park.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-25760485178600632002014-08-06T19:44:23.668-04:002014-08-06T19:44:23.668-04:00Janie, you belong on the stage!
