Well, I have in my collection spiders, crickets, snakes, lizards, sticky scars that you can stick to your hand and make it look as though you had a bad cut, Dracula's fangs, fake moles with a strand of hair sticking out from the centre, frogs and an array of interesting stuff collected over the years.
And then there are the cockroaches!!
Cockroaches? Yup - you read it right, cockroaches. And I have six of them in different shapes, sizes and colors!!!
For the past two weeks, my younger boy and I have been planting these cockroaches all over the whole in a bid to scare each other. Er...my husband is not in the game as he is the sane and stable one haha!
Sometimes I can find a creepy cockroach on the kitchen floor, in the kitchen sink, in my handphone pouch thanks to my boy. As for me, sometimes I plant it in his books, in between his clothes, in his pencil-box and there are times when I would throw one at him resulting in loud ear-piercing screams!
Well, this evening I felt sooooooooooo tired after the walk in town so I took an afternoon nap at 5.30p.m. when my boy was playing badminton with his daddy. I sprained my ankle a few days ago so I was considered 'redundant'.
I woke up from my beauty sleep at 8.30p.m. when my son called for me. It was such a loooooong nap that I really thought it was Monday morning and that he could not find the ham in the freezer to make his sandwiches for his lunch at school. Groggily, I made my way to the kitchen and headed straight for my laptop. With much excitement after being away from my 'baby' for three hours, I opened my laptop very quickly and proceeded to press the button to start up the laptop.
*Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam*
I touched something soft and saw the cockroach staring at me in the dim light!!!
*Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaam*
Very clever and cunning boy - he caught me at the right time when I was off-guard....
And now the mother has declared war hahaha!!! He had better watch out!!!
FYI, I used to play many tricks on my students....but not with such contraptions haha!
Did you know that cockroaches can live for ten days even after losing their heads? You can read more about cockroaches HERE.
Do leave a comment to share any funny experiences. I will resume sopo blogging tomorrow. Thanks! Have a lovely evening!
*Update: My boy saw this post and came up to me with a most suspiciously obedient and repentant look. He said, "Ok mom, I do not want to be at war with you because I'm too scared of what might happen." My response was "Great. No worries!"
Let's see what the future holds....*winks*
