Isaac's Worst Fear

Wisconsin has brought many changes to our lives, most of them have been simple enough to adjust to, but Isaac has also discovered his worst fear. Our home contains common "house centipedes" (see picture below), which are frequently found in the Midwest. Isaac is scared to death of them. (Granted, they do have about a million legs and they can grow to be 1.5 inches long and almost as wide.) But whenever we see one run across the floor in our house, he starts screaming like a little girl. He refuses to go near the bugs, so I am forced to squash them and get rid of the remains. Oh the joys of Wisconsin.


Note: I may have exaggerated a bit about the "screaming like a little girl" comment. And, for the record, I don't like ladybugs. I think it is creepy that they can fly.
