Sitting in the kitchen chatting with Nanny, I thought I saw a bit of debris on the floor. I leaned over the arm of my chair for a closer look. Here's the conversation that ensued:
Me: "Oh my gosh, Nanny, it's a Scorpion, get me a shoe."
Nanny: (leaning closer) "Where?"
Me: "Right there, get me a shoe."
Nanny: "Where?"
Me: (shouting a bit) "Just get me a shoe!!!"
Nanny: (handing me the shoe) "Poke it to see if it's alive."
Me: (poking said Scorpion who then scuttles across the floor) "Ahhhhhhh!!! (Smash)
Nanny: (at the same time) "Ahhhhhhh!!
Here are the post-mortem pictures. Sorry ShoSho and Aunt Buffy, there was no way I was going to "rescue" this guy.
I included this one for scale, it looks pretty small now, after it's dead and flushed and all. Definitely still has a very high "creep factor" for me.
Here's how we felt for days.
My Man had to flush the dead body for me, I was too freaked out. Note to self: time to do a little googling on this here critter and find out more info.....
