Pet Store Dangers
Yesterday Eric and I went to our favorite pet store to get a cricket for his Black Widow, Charlotte. Since 1999 we've been going to this store and looking at all the neat pets. For the last several years Eric has made friends with these big white parrot like birds. He likes to stick his finger in there and scratch under their wings. Sometimes they talk to him and whatnot. The sign on the cage says, "DO NOT STICK YOUR FINGER IN BIRD CAGE!" but over the years Eric has really built up a lot of trust in his feathery friends. As usual Eric walks by and says, "I LOVE these guys! They're so cool!" and I said, "Honey. It says don't stick your finger in there." to which Eric replies, "but look -- he likes itttttOUCH...OKAY_OKAY _LITTLE_BIRDY_ LITTLE_ BIRDY_ LET GO_LET GO_ LET_ OUCH_ OH MY GOD_ OH MY GOD_ LET GO - FUCK!"Me: "Oh my God GROSS! Does it hurt? Do you want me to get you a band aid?"
Eric: "Yes it fucking hurts. I'm shaking! Do you have a band aid?"
Me: "In the car..."
Eric: "Yes please. Will you get one for me?"
Take Note: ALWAYS keep an emergency road side kit in your car. (I'm sure your mother has told you to do so anyway.) You never know when you're loved one will disobey signs and cause a bloody mess.

HOW FREAKING HELARIOUS! He is so like me. When did he get a black widow? How creapy! I would be soooo scared that it would get out or bite me. Yucky! But who am I to talk. YOu should see our lizard. He has gotten twice if not three times as big. He is awesome!
E found his black widow on his portch some time over the winter I guess. He didn't want it to sneak in and kill him or the dog so he caged it instead. He didn't plan on it living this long but she's still alive and muching on crickets!
Almost peed my pants.
