Cockroach Alert

I found a huge cockroach in the study one night but the rolled-up magazine missed it completely because of its weird location. Urgh... it was tough living with the thought of a creepy pest lurking around somewhere in the house. What if it decided it needed some company at night and crawled in to bed with us, or worse, with the kids?! Anyway, out of sight, out of mind. By the next morning, this piece of information was chucked at the back of my mind.

Two days later, we came home after dinner to a dark house. I flipped the light switch on and Gabe immediately pointed out the presence of the unwelcomed resident. We located it among the legs of the dining table and proceeded to exterminate the pest. As it was past the kids' bedtime, we decided to clear the mess only after putting the kids to bed, but obviously someone wasn't too comfortable with the arrangement.

Gabe was supposed to drink his milk before going to bed but the proximity to the dead cockroach proved too much for him. He covered his eyes and refused to budge until the object in question was removed.
