There are two types of people in the world and in the household. Those who must kill and pick up the bigs and those who run, scream, and cry.
Aimee and Shawn's wife, Marsha are the same type of people. We are the ones that run, scream and cry!
Shawn woke up to a text from his wife sent the night before that said "help there is a scorpion in the laundry room under a cup." To start his day he was his wife and boy's hero. Marsha had it under a cup and on the cup was a can of baked beans to insure that the scorpion can't flatten out and escape. Now, when Shawn was telling me this story looking for sympathy. He had come to the wrong place.
I did the same thing to my husband when we had scorpions at our old house. When I worked at night I would come home to have a glass of wine and watch tv while I wound down, and at least once a week I would find a scorpion on the floor or wall. Now if it was on the floor I would take Marsha's technique, but if it was on the wall I would have to kill it but I would NEVER ever pick it up. I would still put a cup over it in case it came back to life and I would put little soccer cones around it marking where it was for my husband to pick it up when he woke up the next day.
I believe that is most definitely a man's job to do. I will cook dinner you kill the bugs. Sound good?
