Usually Ben gets up between 7:45 and 8 a.m., but recently there have been some mishaps involving him and Papa sleeping in. Usually just until 8:30, but still, that's pretty late. Anyway, for a number of reasons (no blackout blinds, sharing a room with the dog, on vacation in an exciting new place, Mama is there in the morning instead of already being gone at work, etc.) Ben was waking up between 6:45 and 7:30 a.m. throughout the time we were staying at my mom's house.
Yesterday, he woke up and said, "Pet Holly doggie" so I let him down to go play with her. I guess I must have dozed some, because soon I heard some rustling sounds coming from the other room. I told him to get back in the bedroom and he came back with an empty bag of chips he'd gotten out of the garbage. Eh, it could have been worse. So then I tell him he needs to stay in the bed room and play with Holly. Quiet again, for awhile, and soon he's standing at the side of the bed saying, "Have it. Mama, have it. Mama have it!!!!" So with my eyes still closed, I open my hand and feel something live and crawly on it.
"EWWWWWWW!!!" I screamed, chucking the bug who knows where. And then, before I said anything else, Ben chimed in.
"Bug grosso. Grosso bug!!!!"
Thanks dude. You couldn't have told me what it was before you shoved it in my hand?
