EEEKS! There is a bug in the house, along the wall! It looks like a centipede, with many many long spiny legs.... But is way too short to a centipede in my opinion. EEEEEEKSSS! *goosebumps* The Husby came home and noticed it, and now I am so freaked out by it! If I had been alone at home, I would have done one of the following:
1. Call someone for help
2. Spray the air freshener at it! (Gotta buy insecticide)
3. Try to whack it
4. Ignore it and go to bed, and hope and pray it will disappear!
Which option do you think I would have picked?
