I am doing emergency babysitting for a nine-year-old boy. He is showing me his gigantic dead locust in a case. It has wings and big spiny legs. I am doing my very best not to shudder in horror, because if I show fear, that locust will certainly come much closer to me than it is now.

I was the child who waved her hands like a mad thing to get the honor of holding the very alive gigantic hissing cockroach, and as such am probably identifying with the wrong person in your post.

Hee. Yes.

I used to play with millipedes when we lived in Africa. Sometime between now and then I somehow acquired an aversion to touching bugs, although I wouldn't mind a dead locust.
