The Perils of Late Night
Ok! My days of working in the dark are over. Lights on at all times.
I’m up late doing some tweaking of the web site. In the low glow of my monitors I reach over and take a big haul from my can of Diet Pepsi.
I was suddenly aware of a solid object in this mouthful. Without swallowing I managed to push the object through my lips with my tongue. Picking it from my lips I look to my fingers to find AN EARWIG!
Gross right? (I’m not done yet)
Before I had a chance to freak out and call the Pepsi Bottling Company every name in the book, it scurried away. Gah! It was still alive!
I wanted to scream but I was suddenly aware that I still had the mouthful of Diet Pepsi which I hadn’t swallowed yet. (And wasn’t going to) Running quickly to the kitchen sink I tripped over the cat and swallowed the mouthful anyway. Thankfully Earwigs don’t travel in packs. lol
It must have either been on the rim of the can or had crawled in before I took a drink.
… 2 French hens,
And an Earwig in a can of Pep-si!
