No screaming...but eebie jeebies all day...goose bumps won't go away!

I'll take a "mouse in the house" anyday....even if it turns out to be a rat!  At least it doesn't slither.

I saw a cricket back in the warehouse this morning that was nearly as big as that grapphopper. I didn't know they got that big. I've also seen Wolf Spiders that would eat that grasshopper as a snack. Yikes!:yikes:

Speaking of cricket.......I was in the laundry room last night and noticed a LARGE cricket hanging out on the wall. I ignored it and went to bed. This morning it came into the kitchen for breakfast and hopped onto the closed oven door, nice and warm from biscuits baking. I called in one of the kids to catch it and take it outside. The 10 yo made a grab for it, it jumped straight onto his mouth!!!!! He wacked it and it jumped onto my leg, then onto the stove then back onto my leg and up into my sundress!!!!!!!:yikes:I screamed, the dogs started barking....a circus in the kitchen this morning.  !!!
 
Got the thing out of the house and Boy D said " I am glad my mouth was closed when that cricket jumped on it."  Major fits of laughter!!!!!!!:funn:

See!  I told you I don't like the way those things move!  They look harmless, but they're always planning their next attack!  :biggrin:

Haaaa!
Similar thing happened to my Sister-in-law in the Dominican. I was bending down to try to pick up this huge green grasshopper and at the last minute that little sucker took off and went right up her dress. Hilarity ensued! We nearly got to see that lady unclothe right there on the beach in front of all. 
Give a whole new meaning to wardrobe malfunction. :floor::floor:
