Rather than deal with it at the time, I just shut it in the porch so it would eventually slam itself against the window and die. The cat had already taken notice of it so I figured he would probably eat it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, this morning my kid wanted to go play at her friend&#8217;s place and I was like ok, so she went there for a little while and came home to get a sweater. I was in the bathroom. Then all of a sudden I hear this blood curdling scream. &#8220;THERE&#8217;S A JUNE BUG IN THE HOUSE!&#8221; So I was like &#8220;Where is it?&#8221; and she goes &#8220;IT&#8217;S LAYING ON ITS BACK IN FRONT OF THE DOOR!&#8221; and I was like &#8220;Well it&#8217;s dead then, don&#8217;t worry about it.&#8221; and she goes &#8220;IT COULD KILL ME THOUGH!&#8221; and I was like no the worst it can do is be ugly don&#8217;t worry about it and she&#8217;s like &#8220;I WANT YOU TO COME OUT AND KILL IT!&#8221; and I&#8217;m like &#8220;It&#8217;s already dead though.&#8221; and she&#8217;s like &#8220;I&#8217;M RISKING MY LIFE HERE!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So yeah. As soon as I got out of the bedroom I opened the door and swept the dead critter out into the driveway and she&#8217;s curled up in a ball on the couch hiding under a pillow. What she didn&#8217;t know was that two of her friends were waiting right outside the door and they as soon as they saw her they said &#8220;Um&#8230; why are you crying?&#8221; Ah yes, girls are pretty funny sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>In further news, I bought Super Dodgeball Brawlers for the DS last night. It&#8217;s pretty fun. I like it a lot. I&#8217;ve always liked Kunio games and it&#8217;s great to have a new one. I like how they actually translated it as a Kunio game too&#8230; I thought that was pretty cool. I haven&#8217;t had a chance to play it all that much yet but I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have some more time on the toilet without June bug interruptions before too long. I can&#8217;t help it, portable gaming was totally designed to be a bathroom sport. It&#8217;s not my fault.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, yeah&#8230; I can&#8217;t believe I even bothered to divide this into paragraphs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again.
