I hate bugs, but since the whole single mom thing happened some years back, I had to suck it up and become the bug slayer in my house. The only two that really, really bother me to the point of near tears are centipedes and crickets. I lived overseas in a tropical country for a while years ago and my ex husband didn't tell me that they had extra large (10" from the tip of the front creepy legs to the tip of the back creepy legs) tarantulas that would wander in the house and crawl all over. One night, I was putting my glasses on and flipping the light switch on, and a large thing I thought was a wall clock, went scurrying up the wall about 2 feet from my face. I realized what it was and screamed my phukking guts out. I jumped across the bed, stepped on my husband, ran into the living room, shrieking and crying. My in-laws ran out and wanted to know what was wrong. My husband told them it was a "house spider" that scared me. (Because it's a big as a house!) They got rid of it finally, but not before I hyperventilated and cried my guts out, while standing in the middle of their couch. All the while, one of the nannies was telling the other one (in their native language), "Poor white woman, she's gone mad."
