DADA!! A BUGGY!!!

Have you ever seen these?

They're "Crane Flies". We refer to them as "Mosquito Eaters". They are HUGE mosquito-like bugs...but they feed on nectar. These suckers are ALL OVER the place right now. Toblerone has a fear of bugs...and especially these things. I don't know why...it's not like they can hurt him, but HE doesn't know that!

Because it's been so nice here, I was working in the yard and left the back door open. Little did I know, I let about 5 of these things in the house. I didn't realize this until it was time for their baths. Because Toblerone is so big and strong, I have to have Weenie give him a bath. He freaks out when you pour water over his head. He flails about and it takes every ounce of strength to keep him IN the bathtub! Well, this particular evening, Weenie put them in the tub for them to play for a while. While bringing his diaper downstairs to dispose of, we heard Toblerone SCREAM a blood curdling scream then we hear:

*Squeak* *THUD THUD THUD*

The next thing we know, there is a wet, stark naked child stomping around upstairs saying:

Toblerone: "DADA!!! A BUGGY!!! GET IT! GET IT!!!!"

We were BOTH cracking up SO hard! Weenie, being the hero that he is, grabbed the thing by the wings and set it free outside. We managed to calm him down enough for him to get BACK into the bathtub. Again, Weenie steps away for a second to let them play, when we hear it again....

*SQUEAK*....*THUD THUD THUD*


Toblerone: "DADA!!! BUGGY!!!!! GET IT!!!!"

Weenie runs back upstairs, but THIS time, no bug. BUT...we spy a Triscuit in the bathtub LAUGHING his head off.

We calm Toblerone down again and put him BACK in the tub. THIS time, Weenie stays there. Then, Triscuit does this...."

Triscuit: "Toblerone! Is that a BUG???"

Toblerone doesn't even stop to LOOK. He starts SHRIEKING again and cries:

Toblerone: "DADA!!! BUGGY!!!!" All the while trying to scramble out of the bathtub.

Ahhh....we found the culprit. An annoying Triscuit fly that likes to scare the crap out of his little brother.

Stinker!
