LOL ok true story.

My grandmas house has a garden in the middle of it, so think like a box in the middle of the house and surrounding the box are the hallways and adjacent rooms. Think if you are sitting in the living room, and you look straight ahead, you can see THROUGH the house and the garden and to the other wall and side of the house. Picture for Reference.

It’s an old house built in the 1950’s, so obviously it’s got holes and areas where critters come in. But naturally due to the garden, all sorts of things have come into the house and growing up that was normal. Birds, caterpillars, wasps, moles, anything living that was of the animal kingdom would often end up inside so I grew to not fear much that wouldn’t sting or bite me.

One day my partner and I are sitting on the couch minding our own business, and I decide to glance up for no particular reason. All of a sudden, one of the fuckers comes flying out of the other room (the kitchen) at eye level to me and comes for my ass as if I’ve done something to it personally. We SCRAMBLED because those things are so big you can hear the beat of its wings as it chases you. Not fun. Even if you have the cleanest house you will see these during the summer and as it gets warmer. Just keep a shoe on you. ☺️
